Book excerpt: This is an important work written in the early 1900s about choosing a household staff, what to look for, and what questions to ask. Through this work, Helene Barker also attacks the Washington D.C. laws regulating industrial cleaning employees but neglecting domestic cleaning employees who were 'abused' by lack of regulations that led to unfair pay, extraordinarily long work days, and sometimes harsh demands by the employer. The references to the events of the time in the U.S. made this work historically significant.

Download or read book Modern Food Moral Food written by Helen Zoe Veit and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American eating changed dramatically in the early twentieth century. As food production became more industrialized, nutritionists, home economists, and so-called racial scientists were all pointing Americans toward a newly scientific approach to diet. Food faddists were rewriting the most basic rules surrounding eating, while reformers were working to reshape the diets of immigrants and the poor. And by the time of World War I, the country's first international aid program was bringing moral advice about food conservation into kitchens around the country. In Modern Food, Moral Food, Helen Zoe Veit argues that the twentieth-century food revolution was fueled by a powerful conviction that Americans had a moral obligation to use self-discipline and reason, rather than taste and tradition, in choosing what to eat.

Download or read book Unprotected Labor written by Vanessa H. May and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an analysis of women's reform, domestic worker activism, and cultural values attached to public and private space, Vanessa May explains how and why domestic workers, the largest category of working women before 1940, were excluded from labor protections that formed the foundation of the welfare state. Looking at the debate over domestic service from both sides of the class divide, Unprotected Labor assesses middle-class women's reform programs as well as household workers' efforts to determine their own working conditions. May argues that working-class women sought to define the middle-class home as a workplace even as employers and reformers regarded the home as private space. The result was that labor reformers left domestic workers out of labor protections that covered other women workers in New York between the late nineteenth century and the New Deal. By recovering the history of domestic workers as activists in the debate over labor legislation, May challenges depictions of domestics as passive workers and reformers as selfless advocates of working women. Unprotected Labor illuminates how the domestic-service debate turned the middle-class home inside out, making private problems public and bringing concerns like labor conflict and government regulation into the middle-class home.

Book excerpt: The public image of the college woman of the Progressive Era was transformed from that of a homely, sexless oddity, doomed to spinsterhood, to that of a vibrant, attractive, athletic young woman, who would eventually marry. This study shows how the many popular representations of student life at women's colleges during that time not only described the college woman, but also helped to constitute her.
