chaptersofchilly's review against another edition
4.0
This is a super interesting book I just finished for one of my history classes about working women. Vapnek explains the history of working women’s economic movements and the struggles they had with working class men and people in the middle and upper classes who tried to control their platform. It was interesting to learn about the relationship of the labor movement with domestic work and with the suffrage movement. Everyone could benefit from reading this because women’s labor struggles are not a big part of social studies curriculum. Vapnek’s work also highlights that businesses capitalize off of racism, sexism, and classism by preventing people from organizing against bad conditions and low pay.
