Cleaning Up

- The Transformation of Domestic Service in Twentieth Century New York

About Cleaning Up

Over the course of the 20th century, American domestic service changed from an occupation with hierarchical, top-down structure to one in which relationships were more negotiated. This book looks at the forces that shaped this transformation: shifts in women's role in society; changes in immigration laws; and the politicization of the occupation.
