A Really Excellent Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Men, Women, and Work: Class, Gender, and Protest in the New England Shoe Industry, 1780-1910 (Working Class in American History) (Paperback)
Mary Blewett has given us the best possible blending of thorough academic research with accessible, inviting prose. She has very effectively portrayed the evolution of working people's efforts to defend their economic wherewithal against the powerful forces of evolving merchant capitalism. Her clear, well-written interpretation of the interplay of labor and commerce in the 19th and early 20th centuries tells us a great deal about the origins of our current industrial society. The book is replete with engaging reportage of working people's lives in our emerging manufacturing centers. Blewett opens and offers a crucial sector of American history with literary style. Readers cannot help but enjoy the result.
