| Description: |
In this study of the steel mills of Pittsburgh in the 1880s, S.J. Kleinberg focuses on the private side of industrialization and urbanization, and on how the mills structured the everyday existence of the women, men and children who lived in their shadows. |
| Synopsis: |
The disruption of family relationship caused by industrialization found one of its most dramatic expressions in the steel mills of Pittsburgh in the 1880s. The work day was 12 hours and the work week was seven days - with every other Sunday for rest. In this work, S.J. Kleinberg focuses on the private side of industrialization, on how the mills structured the everyday existence of the women, men and children who lived in their shadows. What did industrialization and urbanization really mean to the people who lived through these processes? What solutions did they find to the problems of low wages, poor housing, inadequate sanitation and high mortality rates? |
