Mary H. Blewett is a social historian at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and author of numerous books and articles on New England industry and its workers.
"A magnum opus that will be a permanent feature of American labor history."--Deborah Valenze, author of The First Industrial Woman "This is a big book--in every sense. Broadly proportioned, rich in detail, covering a lengthy span of years, at once complex and wide ranging in its themes and conceptualizations, Constant Turmoil is a major statement by a major historian on the character of industrial society as it emerged in nineteenth-century New England. A fundamentally valuable contribution to the historical literature, this is a volume that will surely last."--Jonathan Prude, author of The Coming of Industrial Order: Town and Factory Life in Rural Massachusetts, 1810-1860 "A 'sophisticated, skillful, and epic piece of historical scholarship' which creates 'a densely woven, beautiful, and useful fabric' consisting of 'an important methodological and theoretical exercise in exploring the importance of gender in industrial history.'"--Business History Review
