About the Book

The couple's expertise also yielded the "Gilbreth family system," a model that allowed the mother to be professionally active if she chose, while the parents worked together to raise responsible citizens. Lancaster has woven into her narrative many insights gleaned from interviews with the surviving Gilbreth children and from historical research into such topics as technology, family, work, and feminism. Filied with anecdotes, this definitive biography of Lillian Gilbreth will engage readers intrigued by one of America's most famous families and by one of the nation's most successful women.

Review :
"This well-written biography has a fluid style that will engage all readers, but it will be of particular interest to historians and students of the relationship between gender and business."--Enterprise & Society "An absorbing, psychologically acute biography that links Gilbreth's career and embrace of 'the strenuous life' with the Progressive Era's conflicted ideas about gender and the rise of the 'New Woman.'"--Publishers Weekly "Gilbreth's amazing story should be required reading for contemporary women struggling to achieve balance in their hectic lives."--Booklist Making Time is "notable for its focus on social context, and on cultural and political history. At every spot along the way, the author presents the wider background to Lilian's story... This well-written, intriguing study presents a fascinating way to learn and to teach the evolving experience of American women during the ninety-four years of Lilian Gilbreth's life."--American Historical Review
