Home and Work: Housework, Wages, and the Ideology of Labor in the Early Republic

Good book

The best historical book I have ever read! It was required for a history course in university! I’m so glad and tremendously enriched by the contents of this book! I loaned mine out & never got it back! So I received my new purchase today:I was surprised by the sales description, as it said it was new hardcover! In fact, it’s yellowed and smells musty like an old basement!There are a couple of ink markings inside on the text pages too!I’m grateful to have this book once again, but disappointed that it was used and too pricey for that fact!

Boydson goes to prove that the average woman ha had to work long and hard hours that have been often under paid and overworked while the men get their payment, the women must endure long hours and work extra hard. This book seeks to tell how the women have built the economy and have been one of the major leaders yet do not get the credit that they deserve. Think about the long hours put in spinning, canning, and doing the house work without air conditioning and yet still how it is today! This si the book to read for all historians.
