Unlike the more familiar examples of industrialization, these cleanliness factories remained powerfully identified with domesticity. In \u003ci\u003eSteam Laundries\u003c\/i\u003e, Arwen Mohun explores broader issues of how gender has shaped how everyday work gets done, who does the work, and how the work is valued. The British-American comparison further reveals differences owing to culture, regulation, and social structure as well as the unexpected transatlantic character of this seemingly localized business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arwen P.
