"Domestic Service" by Lucy Maynard Salmon is a historical exploration investigating household employment in America. The study opens by establishing the complex nature of domestic service, which has transformed over time in response to multiple personal, financial, and social influences. The author notes that while many people have direct experience with the subject, it’s often overlooked in wider economic discussions. Early chapters set the stage by pointing out that household service has largely been ignored and separate from economic and historical examination, promising a detailed look at its past, economic consequences, and potential changes.
