The beginning of the 20th century, however, of fered a different culture and outlook for women compared to the culture and opportunities of today. How girls’ culture was defined at the beginning of the twentieth century, using Girl Scouts of the United States of America as a primary example, is the focus of a study by Laureen Tedesco, a doctoral student of English at Texas A&M University. Tedesco said she formed this idea for her study by looking through old Girl Scout manuals. “I was looking through the manuals between 1913, when Girl Scouts published their first manu al, to about the 1933 manual,” Tedesco said. “The manuals were all written very technically and were written for a specific audience, which would be the Girl Scouts of that time period.” Tedesco said she found in these Girl Scout man uals and in other research that girls were taught health care, housekeeping and cooking skills, along with some outdoor activities similar to the Boy Scouts of America. “This curriculum was based on society’s view of women and the new directions women were begin ning to take in the 1910s and 1920s,” she said. “This is what they were teaching the Girl Scouts of the time; this new-formed identity.” “Girl Scout manuals in the 1920s provided por traits of women with careers and gave girls oppor tunities to earn badges in career exploration, but a heavy emphasis was placed on a woman’s respon sibility to maintain the home and foster the health of her family,” she said. The basic principles taught by the Girl Scouts helped contribute to the view that a career was okay until marriage and then a womar still defined as the home in thisE Tedesco said fiction and advkr also presented 1111*1 ideaasnattB Foster, a b "The 192(is man 11.11 after won y at Fitzwilly’s vote, indicated that women's p. a housekeeping duty,’opr, 1 cih alternc were to research what publicpo ty at Cowhop healthy for society and use the; sway to get laws enacted and m Creager, a cc things as cleanet cities ami her-ollege Static facilities." w Canyon at!
