The Response to Industrialism
by Samuel P Hays
This brief book examined the changing economic structure of the United States between the years 1885 to 1914. The most powerful aspect of the book for me was that it regarded the women as a historical subject. It’s also a beautifully written book which I still refer my students to for knowledge and the clarity of its prose.
