Power, Profits, and Patriarchy

The Social Organization of Work at a British Metal Trades Firm, 1791-1922

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Founded in 1791 and in existence for more than two hundred years, the Kenrick iron foundry of West Bromwich, England produced some of the finest cast-iron hardware ever made. William and Clifford Staples' goal in studying the Kenrick case is to examine how taken-for-granted assumptions about class, gender, and familial relations contributed to the longevity of the firm.
