Danielle Child, "Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism " English | ISBN: 1350022381 | 2019 | 240 pages | PDF | 19 MB Working Aesthetics is about the relationship between art and work under contemporary capitalism.

Margo, "Women's Work?: American Schoolteachers, 1650-1920" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0226660397 | PDF | pages: 200 | 0.8 mb American schoolteaching is one of few occupations to have undergone a thorough gender shift yet previous explanations have neglected a key feature of the transition: its regional character. By the early 1800s, far higher proportions of women were teaching in the Northeast than in the South, and this regional difference was reproduced as settlers moved West before the Civil War. What explains the creation of these divergent regional arrangements in the East, their recreation in the West, and their eventual disappearance by the next century?
