| + | Pursell’s introduction to American Technology made the fascinating, and often-overlooked, point that homes and doctor’s offices are also production-based or -fueled areas; the idea of homes being locales at which production regularly occurs coincides with Pursell’s description of the rise of Women’s History. With Women’s History, the actions of women and the stereotypical “sphere of womanhood” are unveiled, studied, and valued; in acknowledging that homes are also locations of production, the actions of women and the importance of those actions are again noted. Doctor’s offices being locations of production also struck me as interesting, because it is only within the past few years that there have begun to be complaints about the perceived “production line”-- very rote--style of care; however, even before patients “lost” their individuality and began to be seen as statistics and numbers (particularly in large clinics and emergency rooms), doctors’ offices were indeed places of production. --Nicole Steck | ||
