From fields to kitchens. Histories of domestic labor, Rhône and Loire, 1848-1940

This book on paid domestic work in Mid 19th to mid 20th century France bears more specifically on the Rhône and Loire region. Based on Ph. D. thesis in Labor History, this work questions the making of the « domestic workers » category both by the State and the employer class as a means of massive exploitation of women and of the popular classes, all through a feminist lense. It deals with domestics' wages, working and living conditions, margins of autonomy, in comparison to workers' and peasants' worlds. This book treats both urban and rural domesticity, men and women, in a varied economic landscape (both heavily industrialized basins and agricultural villages). Using judicial, administratives and private sources, the author refuses the literary topos of the submissive and powerless female domestic worker by reconstructing in clear and accessible style biographies of domestic workers and by analysing in an original manner domestic exploitation.
