More about the book
Focusing on the historical significance of laundries in British and American cities, the book delves into how gender influences everyday work, its division, and valuation. By examining the evolution of these "cleanliness factories," it highlights the intersection of industrialization and domesticity. The comparative analysis uncovers cultural, regulatory, and social structural differences between the two regions, revealing the surprising transatlantic nature of this seemingly localized industry.
