In the early twentieth century, women fought for the right to professional employment and political influence outside the home. Yet if liberation from household 'drudgery' meant employing another woman to do it, where did this leave domestic servants? Both inspired and frustrated by the growing feminist movement, servants began forming their own trade unions, demanding better conditions and rights at work. Feminism and the Servant Problem is the first ever history of how these militant maids and their mistresses joined forces in the struggle for the vote but also clashed over competing class interests. Laura Schwartz uncovers a forgotten history of domestic worker organising and early feminist thinking on reproductive labour, and offers a new perspective on the class politics of the suffrage movement, challenging traditional notions of who made up the British working-class.

Hierarchies at Home traces the experiences of Cuban domestic workers from the abolition of slavery through the 1959 revolution. Domestic service - childcare, cleaning, chauffeuring for private homes - was both ubiquitous and ignored as formal labor in Cuba, a phenomenon made possible because of who supposedly performed it. In Cuban imagery, domestic workers were almost always black women and their supposed prevalence in domestic service perpetuated the myth of racial harmony. African-descended domestic workers were 'like one of the family', just as enslaved Cubans had supposedly been part of the families who owned them before slavery's abolition. This fascinating work challenges this myth, revealing how domestic workers consistently rejected their invisibility throughout the twentieth century. By following a group marginalized by racialized and gendered assumptions, Anasa Hicks destabilizes traditional analyses on Cuban history, instead offering a continuous narrative that connects pre- and post-revolutionary Cuba.

Les Frontin, Figaro et autres Gil Blas de la littérature nous ont rendu familière l'image du valet voleur, effronté, sans scrupules. La légende noire de la domesticité est devenue, études économiques aidant, une vérité admise. À la lumière d'archives privées d'une richesse exceptionnelle, Jacqueline Sabattier remet en question cette imagerie traditionnelle. Le bon Martin, qui adresse ses récriminations au président Fraguier avec un franc-parler inconcevable mais non dénué de respect, Dupont désespéré par les frasques du jeune chevalier Nicolaÿ, Gigot d'Orcy déjouant les manoeuvres d'une intrigante, plaident avec force pour la réhabilitation des rapports maître-domestique au XVIIIe siècle. Les lettres de Mme Bertier de Sauvigny et de son régisseur nous rendent plus aptes à en juger. L'appartenance à une même maison unit maîtres et serviteurs, tout au long de la vie, et au seuil même de la mort, dans une relation éminemment complexe, faite à la fois d'attirance et de mépris, d'affection et de crainte, que la Révolution naissante n'ébranlera qu'à peine. Un regard original, petrinent et vivant sur la société de l'ancienne France.

Los trabajos de este libro permitirán al lector hacerse con una visión comparada de la relación que la inmigración, el funcionamiento de los mercados de trabajo y el servicio doméstico han establecido entre sí en el seno de diferentes ciudades europeas en el curso de los siglos XVIII, XIX y XX. La novedad de los mismos no solo se aprecia en los resultados que ofrecen, sino también en los métodos que buena parte de ellos emplean. El recurso a la información de las bases nominativas permite estudiar desde un punto de vista original cuestiones tales como las redes de paisanaje, los efectos de la movilidad social y laboral del servicio doméstico, la diferente plasmación de los proyectos migratorios de las mujeres o la relevancia que en ciertos casos tuvo la población flotante. Ce livre offre un regard original et novateur sur l'immigration urbaine, le fonctionnement du marché du travail et le service domestique. Les différentes études proposent au lecteur aussi bien un bilan panoramique de la question à l’échelle européenne que des visions au niveau national. Dans l’approche des différentes thématiques concernées, se lit en outre le souci d’étudier des villes aux profils variés, tant par leurs tailles que par leurs fonctions, leurs caractères ou leurs localisations géographiques.
