Reviews
What makes this book different is its temporal context. . . . I became fascinated by the description of a woman's lifeworld within a 'typical' middle-class, American home of only 100 years ago. . . . The Home: Its Work and Influence can be considered a classic in gender studies. -- Valerie Wright-St. Clair, Auckland University of technology * Journal Of Occupational Studies, Nov. 2003, Vol. 10, No. 3 *
