For Her Own Good, Ehrenreich and English
I just remembered that I have a copy of this, which is a 1978 history of
professional advice to & about women. Their introduction compares the
rationalist soution to the Women Question (let women and men do the same
work) to the romantic one (believe that women and their work are special and
outside rational cost/benefit analysis).
They also have an entire chapter on "Microbes and the Manufacture of
Housework". Lillian Gilbreth, however, doesn't appear in the index.
So wrote clew in
History.
