Reviews
"The book will excite readers interested in material culture, gender and socioeconomic change... A brilliant portrait of modernizing Japan." -- M. William Steele/International Christian University Social Science Japan Jrnl "Gordon asks questions and draws connections that less ambitious studies of business or society alone cannot achieve ... [he] reinvigorates the history of the sewing machine and suggests that there is much more to learn about this extremely significant piece of household technology." -- Anna Johns H-Net
