Counter Cultures Saleswomen, Managers, and Customers in American Department Stores, 1890-1940
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Illinois Pr
- Publish date: 03/01/1988
Description:
The luxurious appearance and handsome profits of American department stores from 1890 to 1940 masked a three-way struggle among saleswomen, managers, and customers for control of the selling floor. Counter Cultures explores the complex nature and contradictions of the conflict in an arena where class, gender, and the emerging culture of consumption all came together. ''Counter Cultures is a path-breaking and imaginative social history. Benson has made an original and sophisticated contribution to the study of the work process in the service sector.'' -- Journal of American History ''Counter Cultures advances our understanding of the history of women and work, and it does so in an engaging way that should command the attention not only of historians but of a general readership as well.'' -- Women's Review of Books
