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.
