About: Beginning with a description of household chores in the 19th century -- cooking at fireplaces & on cast-iron stoves, laundry done with wash boilers & flatirons, spring housecleaning that had to purge the home of soot & grime, endless water hauling & fire tending -- Strasser demonstrates how industrialization transformed the nature of women's work.
