Coble, Alana Erickson

SUMMARY

Over the course of the 20th century, American domestic service changed from an occupation with a hierarchical, top-down structure to one in which relationships were more negotiated. Many forces shaped this transformation: shifts in women's role in society, both at home and in the work force; changes in immigration laws and immigrant populations; and the politicization of the occupation. Moreover, domestic workers themselves took advantage of the resulting circumstances to demand better treatment and a say in their working conditions.Coble, Alana Erickson is the author of 'Cleaning Up The Transformation of Domestic Service in Twentieth Century New York', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415978095 and ISBN 0415978092.
