> The expanding interest in scientific management and efficiency principles in the early 1900s included a significant agenda for organizing women’s work in the home. The efficiency proselytizers Harrington Emerson and Frank Gilbreth each provide an epigraph for the domestic science celebrity Christine Frederick’s Household Engineering (1915), acknowledging housewifery as demanding the highest acumen and skill.

While most of the early Taylorist enthusiasts and and time method managers were based in the USA, Frank Gilbreth spent much of 1913 and 1914 at the Auergesellschaft company, which was allied with Allgemeine Elektrizitats-Gesellschaft (AEG), the largest German engineering firm. The exact nature of Gilbreth's work and his relations with his client remain a mystery, but Walther Rathenau, the head of AEG, and Wichard von Moellendorff, one of its key manufacturing executives, were among the most influential promoters of scientific management in Germany during the following decade.
