More Work for Mother: The Ironies of Household Technology from the Open Hearth to the Microwave Paperback - 1985
by Ruth Schwartz Cowan
First line
INDUSTRIALIZATION transformed every American household sometime between 1860 and 1960.
From the rear cover
This book has a dual focus. As its title is meant to suggest, it is a history not just of housework but also of the tools with which that work is done: household technology. Human beings are tool-using animals; indeed, some anthropologists believe that, along with speech,, the ability to use and to refine our tools is precisely what sets us apart from other species of primates.
