Fifty Years Before Martha: Lillian Gilbreth Was the Original Mogul of Homekeeping

This woman was Martha before she was even around. She knew lots of tips and tricks just the way Martha does now. Both women can help you get inspired about keeping your home nice. They both did a great job and you can as well with a little creativity. All you have to do is think outside the box.

Key Takeaways:

  • Lillian Moller Gilbreth was the homekeeping mogul long before Martha Stewart became a household name.
  • After her husband died, Gilbreath had to change her professional focus from improving workplaces to domestic management.
  • Gilbreath is also the genius behind shelves inside refrigerator doors, foot pedestal trash cans, and wall light switches.

“Despite the fact that Lillian was brilliant and well-educated as a woman in the early 1900s — not to mention, clearly a total badass — she struggled with being taken seriously.”
