During the 1930s, Mississippi's rural women encountered many different organizations pushing them to accept consumerism, home economics, labor saving tools, and electricity but, with little money to purchase luxury goods, saw no reason to obtain technology dependent on electrical power. The passage of New Deal power legislation brought the possibility of electricity to the rural communities, and the hope of new appliances to farmwomen.
