"Rookwood and the Industry of Art is a critical appreciation of Rookwood's rise to its commerical pinnacle, assessing the labor practices and production of ceramic ware as a way to explore anxiety about women's roles outside the home as well as about industrialization, immigration, and urbanization."--BOOK JACKET.
