57 pages~1 hr 8 min read32 chapters$1.99
Run the household like a business, define the job, pay honest wages: C. Hélène Barker's 1915 proposal applies business principles to housework and diagnoses why capable women refuse domestic labor. A crisp, reforming little book decades ahead of the debates it predicts. The help-wanted ad, rewritten as economics.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
