Unprotected Labor: Household Workers, Politics, and Middle-Class Reform in New York, 1870-1940
Vanessa H. May
Examines how and why domestic workers, the largest category of working women before 1940, were excluded from labour protections that formed the foundation of the welfare state. Looking at the debate over domestic service from both sides of the class divide, this assesses middle-class women's reform programs as well as household workers' efforts to determine their own working conditions.
