Lillian Moller Gilbreth (and an announcement)

Author: The History Chicks | AIRWAVE August 9, 2023 Duration: 1:39:26
Lillian Gilbreth should be remembered for any of her life accomplishments: psychologist, industrial engineer, author, inventor, and pioneer in the field of industrial psychology. From her collection of degrees to her equal partnership marriage to her work with Presidents and to the trailblazing example she set for us modern mothers...she should be remembered for a lot more than simply, "the mother on Cheaper by the Dozen". Let's do something about that. We selected this episode to replay today for a very important reason. Hear that reason when you hit PLAY. If you are going to be in either Paris or London early this fall, we would love to have dinner with you on our Seine or Thames River Dinner Cruises!
