Jane Lancaster. Making Time: Lillian Moller Gilbreth, a Life beyond "Cheaper By The Dozen." Boston: Northeastern University Press. 2004. Pp. xii, 415. $35.00.

The name of Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878–1972) is not widely known today, despite her extraordinary engineering achievements. She is best known from Cheaper By The Dozen (1948), in which she is falsely presented as the nonworking mother in the background, playing a secondary role to the powerful father of the family's twelve children. In fact, Gilbreth reached the height of her profession, served as advisor to five U. S. presidents, and traveled the world on business until she was nearly ninety. Jane Lancaster's engaging and deeply researched biography provides a detailed description of how her life and reputation were shaped by traditional gender stereotypes.
