Readers of Cheaper by the Dozen remember Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878-1972) as the working mom who endures the antics of not only twelve children but also an engineer husband eager to experiment with the principles of efficiency -- especially on his own household. What readers today might not know is that Lillian Gilbreth was herself a high-profile engineer, and the only woman to win the coveted Hoover Medal for engineers. She traveled the world, served as an advisor on women's issues to five U.S. presidents, and mingled with the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart. Her husband, Frank Gilbreth, died after twenty years of marriage, leaving her to raise their eleven surviving children, all under the age of nineteen. She continued her career and put each child through college. Retiring at the age of ninety, Lillian Gilbreth was the working mother who "did it all." Jane Lancaster's spirited and richly detailed biography tells Lillian Gilbreth's life story-one that resonates with issues faced today by many working women. Lancaster confronts the complexities of how one of the twentieth century's foremost career women could be pregnant, nursing, or caring for children for more than three decades. Yet we see how Gilbreth's engineering work dovetailed with her family life in the professional and domestic partnership that she forged with her husband and in her long solo career. The innovators behind many labor-saving devices and procedures used in factories, offices, and kitchens, the Gilbreths tackled the problem of efficiency through motion study. To this Lillian added a psychological dimension, with empathy toward the worker. The couple's expertise also yielded the "Gilbreth family system," a model that allowed the mother to be professionally active if she chose, while the parents worked together to raise responsible citizens. Lancaster has woven into her narrative many insights gleaned from interviews with the surviving Gilbreth children and from historical research into such topics as technology, family, work, and feminism. Filled with anecdotes, this definitive biography of Lillian Gilbreth will engage readers intrigued by one of America's most famous families and by one of the nation's most successful women.

Lillian Gilbreth is a stunning example of female ingenuity in the early twentieth century. At a time when women were standard fixtures in the home and barely accepted in many professions, Gilbreth excelled in both spheres, concurrently winning honors as 'Engineer of the Year' and 'Mother of the Year'. This accessible, engaging introduction to the life of Lillian Gilbreth examines her pivotal role in establishing the discipline of industrial psychology, her work as an engineer of domestic management and home economics, and her role as mother of twelve children - made famous by the book, and later movie, Cheaper by the Dozen. This book examines the life of an exceptional woman who was able to negotiate the divide between the public and domestic spheres and define it on her terms. About the Lives of American Women series: selected and edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin, these brief biographies are designed for use in undergraduate courses. Rather than a comprehensive approach, each biography focuses instead on a particular aspect of a women's life that is emblematic of her time, or which made her a pivotal figure in the era. The emphasis is on a 'good read' featuring accessible writing and compelling narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship and academic integrity. Primary sources at the end of each biography reveal the subject's perspective in her own words. Study questions and an annotated bibliography support the student reader.

In Managing On Her Own, Graham's aim is not so much to theorize as it is to reveal a previously untold segment of Lillian Gilbreth's story, one that places her at the center rather than her husband Frank.Although generally remembered as the mother of 12 children in Cheaper By The Dozen and Belles On Their Toes, Lillian Moller Gilbreth was also a pioneer of scientific management who earned a Ph.D. in psychology and worked as a partner with her husband, Frank Bunker Gilbreth, in their industrial engineering consulting firm. In the 1910s and early 1920s, the Gilbreths were leaders of a revisionist movement in scientific management that aimed to make it more responsive to human needs than Frederick Taylor's more famous system had been. Lillian infused their motion study methods with her rich understanding of human psychology, and as a result, their firm was highly successful in preventing worker resistance.When Frank died suddenly in June of 1924, sex discrimination among manufacturers forced Lillian Gilbreth to seek new outlets for her expertise. After some painful false starts, she ultimately stabilized her career and her family's financial situation by becoming a gender mediator between businesses and American women.From 1925 to 1928, she helped oversee the development of scientific management at Macy's department store with the hope that store executives would offer her a consulting contract, but they never did. She wrote books and gave speeches on the relevance of scientific management to homemaking, but initially found few clients who were willing to pay for her advice. It was only when she began targeting women's consumer behavior that women's publications, utility companies, and thegovernment became interested in her services. The mass media intensified her notoriety by portraying her as a domestic whiz capable of raising a large family on her own while leading a demanding career. By the early 1930s, she was a nationally recognized authority on homemaking, motherhood, and household consumption. For the next 40 years, she led a remarkable and diverse solo career, earning the title of America's First Lady of Engineering.AUTHOR: Laurel Graham is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She conducts research and teaches courses on sociological theory, women and work, consumer culture, and women and science.

Born into a life of privilege in 1878, Lillian Moller Gilbreth put her pampered life aside for one of adventure and challenge. She and her husband, Frank, became efficiency experts by studying the actions of factory workers. They ran their home efficiently, too. When Frank suddenly died, Lillian was left to her own devices to raise their eleven children. Eventually, she was hired by the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company to improve kitchen design, which was only the beginning. Lillian Gilbreth was the subject of two movies (Cheaper by the Dozen and Belles on Their Toes), the first woman elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and the first female psychologist to have a U.S. postage stamp issued in her honor. A leading efficiency expert, she was also an industrial engineer, a psycologist, an author, a professor, and an inventor.
