(a‘f/é A champion of women, a pioneer of domestic science and an inspiration for millions around the world. Adelaide Hunter Hoodless Even before her infant son died from drinking raw milk, "Addie" believed that women should be better equipped for family life and that many tragedies could be avoided. Erland Lee invited Adelaide to speak at a Farmer’s Institute meeting in Stoney Creek. She suggested the formation of a women’s organization and the first meeting took place a week later. The following week she was named honourary president. Adelaide left the Women‘s Institute in the capable hands of rural women, while she continued her campaign for domestic science. Domestic science and sewing were added to the Hamilton school curriculum. Adelaide wrote a textbook, ‘The Public School Domestic Science’, and she became increasingly respected as an expert. ‘The education of women and girls had been her life’s work, and continued to be right up until the end - she died in February 1910 of heart failure just after she had got up to speak at a meeting at St Margaret’s College in Toronto, where she was appealing for a school of Household Science to be set up at university level.
