Martha Van Rensselaer

Martha Van Rensselaer (June 21, 1864 – May 26, 1932) was a founding co-director of Cornell University’s New York State College of Home Economics, now the New York State College of Human Ecology, and served as an educator and leading proponent of applying science to improve the quality of life in the home. She called this new field “domestic science,” using rigorous scientific research to understand and improve many key aspects of homemaking.
== Early Life ==
Van Rensselaer was born and raised in Randolph, New York. After witnessing her mother’s strong participation in the women's suffrage and temperance movements, Van Rensselaer learned early on the potential of women to influence American society. She graduated from high school, became a teacher, and was elected as school commissioner of Cattaraugus County, New York, a position typically held by men, from 1893 to 1899.〔Faculty Biographies: Martha Van Rensselaer" Cornell University Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections.〕
In 1900, Liberty Hyde Bailey invited Van Rensselaer to organize an extension education program for New York State women in rural areas. Under Van Rensselaer's leadership, the program enrolled more than 20,000 women members across the state in less than five years. The extension work helped women adopt new scientific strategies to ease the burden of daily tasks involved in farm life.〔
The program’s success was noted by many, including Susan B. Anthony, who wrote a letter to Van Rensselaer in 1905, inquiring about her strategies used "in getting farmers' wives to talk."〔Anthony, Susan B. Personal Letter. Cornell University Division of Rare & Manuscript Collections.〕
