A protracted struggle for women to gain admission to the University of Georgia took place in the context of major shifts in social, economic, and political conditions within the state from the 1890s to the early 1900s. This article reports the early development of home economics in Georgia and Mary E. Creswell's pivotal role. As a beneficiary of change as well as an agent of change, Creswell provided leadership for programs aimed at increasing women's educational and career opportunities and improving living conditions. This study illustrates the use of documentary research to explore the intersection of personal and public issues
