Editorial Reviews

Review

The lives of working women and their contributions to American economic history are considered in a fine blend of biography and social and political history. The focus on multi-cultural experiences and women's patterns of immigration, work, and cultural background provides an unusually rich review of how gender and race influenced economic development. -- Midwest Book Review

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Race, Gender and Work: A Multi-Cultural Economic History of Women in the United States, Revised Edition (Paperback)

Bought this book as a class requirement but now have it on my shelf to read the whole way through (we only read portions in the class). I can't wait to have time to read it.
