00:00:04,030 --> 00:00:08,040
Ellen Swallow Richards. She is an industrial and environmental chemist,

00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:12,050
and she laid the foundation for what is known today as the home

4
00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:16,080
economics movement. She focused a lot on proper

00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:20,110
clothing, purer food, nutrition, sanitation, and more

00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:24,120
efficient practices so females could spend more time on things

00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:28,160
other than cooking and cleaning inside the household. She was also the first woman to be admitted

00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:32,180
into MIT, and the first female professor at the institution.
