Cobble Dorothy Cobble Dishing It Out

Annotation

       "Rich in detail, studded with telling anecdotes, Dishing It Out        is just as vivid and evocative as its title suggests. . . . This book        speaks with clarity and good sense to the major debates in the history        of work and gender and will become a landmark in our growing understanding        of the relationships between the two."        -- Susan Porter Benson, author of Counter Cultures      "In this imaginative study of waitresses, work, and unionism, Cobble        challenges us all to rethink the conventional wisdom about the relationship        between craft unionism and the possibilities for women workers' collective        action. Women's labor history will never be the same."        -- Ruth Milkman, author of Gender at Work: The Dynamics of Job        Segregation by Sex during World War II
