Never Done is the first history of American housework. Beginning with a description of household chores of the nineteenth centurycooking at fireplaces and on castiron stoves, laundry done with wash boilers and flatirons, endless water hauling and fire tendingSusan Strasser demonstrates how industrialization transformed the nature of women's work. Lightening some tasks and eliminating the need for others, new commercial processes inexorably altered women's daily lives and relationshipswith each other and with the people they served.In this lively and authoritative book, Strasser weaves together the history of material advances and discussions of domestic service, "women's separate sphere" and the impact of advertising, home economics and women's entry into the workforce.Hailed as pathbreaking when originally published, Never Done remains an eyeopening examination of daily life in the American past.
