- Summary:
- In the minds of most people, the home has stood apart from the world of work. By bringing the factory or office into the home, homework challenges this division. Homework has been vigorously debated by employers, trade unionists, male and female reformers, and government administrators. This book restores the voices of homeworking women to the century-long struggle over their labor.
