5.0 out of 5 stars
An insightful look at the 1st lady of scientific management.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing on Her Own: Dr. Lillian Gilbreth and Women's Work in the Interwar Era (Hardcover)
This book highlights the life of an incredible woman. It reveals many aspects of Dr.Lillian Gilbreth's life and how she dealt with the extraordinary challenges of society. It is an insightful book descriptive of how her circumstances forced her into developing creative solutions in her quest for survival. It truly reveals not only her impact in the field of scientific management (which she and her late husband had worked on for many years), but how she managed to apply her psychology skills in becoming a pioneer in the field while raising 11 surviving children and no spouse. If you enjoyed the Hollywood movies "Cheaper by The Dozen" or "Belles On Their Toes", I highly recommend you read this book. It gives the 'behind the scene' factual story of a remarkable lady. A 'MUST' for engineering majors...specially women. |
