highlighted the potential for this mobilization to secure health care and living wages for women and their families, to standardize and/or reduce work hours, to reintroduce internal job ladders and occupational mobility, and to reduce raceand class-based hierarchies. In other words, many of the obstacles to women’s ability to maintain autonomous households that Thistle skillfully elucidates could be adequately addressed through unionization of the low-wage service sector. However, Thistle devotes only a couple of paragraphs to this potential, thus leaving the reader eager for a more comprehensive vision for a way forward. Despite this shortcoming, I would strongly recommend Thistle’s book for scholars and advanced students pursuing research in the areas of gender and work, the historical transformation of women’s roles, and the work and family conflict. Furthermore, advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find the chapters, data tables, figures, and charts clear, concise, and accessible.
