Description
Working Women in America: Split Dreams examines the diversity of women’s work experiences from pre-industrial times to the twentieth century. It highlights that women have worked throughout history, and it seeks to dispel the misconception that women’s work is a recent phenomenon. Indeed, the lives of working women are characterized by “split dreams”: most women who work are constantly juggling their work and family dreams. Working Women in America: Split Dreams intersperses first-person accounts throughout the book and provides a number of vignettes of women employed in a variety of occupations.

Marla R. MillerPublication Details
BookUniversity of Massachusetts Press2006Links
Description
Drawing on diaries, letters, reminiscences, ledgers, and material culture, she explores the contours of working women?s lives in rural New England, offering a nuanced view of their varied ranks and roles?skilled and unskilled, black and white, artisanal and laboring?as producers and consumers, clients and craftswomen, employers and employees.
