Review
What makes this book different is its temporal context. . . . I became fascinated by the description of a woman's lifeworld within a 'typical' middle-class, American home of only 100 years ago. . . .
The Home: Its Work and Influence can be considered a classic in gender studies. (Valerie Wright-St. Clair
