Caroline Bartlett Crane and Progressive Reform

Popularly known as "America's Housekeeper" for her social work and as a pioneer for women's inclusion in public affairs, Caroline Bartlett Crane (1858-1935) was active in many aspects of Progressive Era social reform. This volume, written by a sociologist whose background is not provided, analyzes the relationship between that era of reform and the origins of American sociology with a view to women's contributions in these endeavors.
