Dishing It Out; Waitresses and Their Unions in the Twentieth Century

Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1991. Hardcover. 327 pages. 23.5 x 16 cm. The author skillfully combines oral interviews and extensive archival records to show how waitresses adopted the basic tenets of male-dominated craft unions but rejected other aspects of male union culture. Dishing It Out contends that the success of waitress unionism was due to several factors: waitresses, for the most part, had nontraditional family backgrounds, and most were primary wage-earners. Clean, crisp copy. Teal cloth covered boards. Fine, in near fine dust wrapper. Item #3236
