Event Description
Drawing from the newly-published 2nd edition of their book, Daily Life in the Industrial United States, 1870-1900 (ABC-Clio), Julie Husband and Jim O’Loughlin offer an introduction to everyday experience during a transformative moment in American history. While the rise of industrialism changed the nature of work for many Americans, that wasn’t the only major shift of the era. This presentation also will examine how family relations, education, and leisure were all reconstituted in the industrial era. Free and open to the public.
