Dr. Lillian Gilbreth was the first woman elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Best known as the real-life mother of Cheaper by the Dozen, she invented industrial psychology, advanced the occupational opportunities for disabled workers after World War I, and designed the modern-day kitchen, among other groundbreaking achievements. 

 

Therese Oneill, New York Times best-selling author of Unbecoming a Lady, tells the true story of Dr. Gilbreth, one of history’s unsung geniuses, with humor and unique insight.
