By Theodore Roosevelt Malloch. Business leaders have been deeply impressed by the research of scholars on the role of social capital in our personal and professional lives.

Rich Lives
The role of homemaker is one of the most valuable, yet frequently least valued positions in American society. Rich Lives explores the world of 20th century homemakers, in a stage presentation by Rita Kohn based upon an oral history compiled by Eleanor Arnold. Arnold crafted Voices of American Homemakers from interviews with more than 200 women in the mid-20th century. The women interviewed shared their experiences, values and deep feelings about their lives and the changing world they were living. They revealed homemaking as a universal experience distinguished from housekeeping by the caring and love with which it’s done.
This initial staging of Rich Lives was presented at the Indiana State Fair Pioneer Village Opry House in 2010.
