An accessible and engaging introduction to the life of Lillian Gilbreth. At a time when women were fixtures in the home and rarely accepted in many professions, Gilbreth excelled in both spheres, at one point winning mother and engineer of the year. She worked to establish the discipline of industrial psychology, was an engineer of domestic management and home economics, and was a mother of twelve children, the story of which was made famous by the book and then movie "Cheaper by the Dozen."
