Helen Kinne

Helen Kinne (1861–1917) was an American educator who helped establish household arts as an academic discipline. She taught at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she became professor of household arts education and trained many of the teachers who carried domestic science into American schools. With her colleague Anna M. Cooley she wrote two widely used textbooks, Foods and Household Management (1914) and Shelter and Clothing, intended for high schools and normal schools as well as for use in the home.
