Domestic service
Lucy Maynard Salmon
A history professor sent questionnaires into American kitchens and made a science of the servant problem. Lucy Maynard Salmon traces domestic service from colonial days forward, analyzes its economics, and proposes remedies both employer and employee could live with. The first serious academic study of housework as labor. Still cited wherever anyone takes the household seriously.
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.
