"Blum's work is a major contribution to the nascent field of childhood history in Latin America. She draws from the historiography of gender and welfare to reflect how class, race, and gender interplayed in defining family relations and nation-state formation in modern Mexico."—Sandra Aguilar, H-Net|"Ann Blum makes an important contribution to the history of childhood, family, and labor and helps tie together labor, cultural, and political histories."—Susie S. Porter, Americas|"Blum uses an impressive array of sources—legal codes, decrees, censuses, court cases, articles, and welfare records. Her work sits at the intersection of multiple historiographies, not just family history, but also the history of women, gender, legal, labor, medical, and childhood as well."—Nicole Sanders, Mexican Studies|"[Domestic Economies] is a ground-breaking and important work that contributes not only to our understandings of family and work in Porfirian and revolutionary Mexico but also to wider historiographies of welfare, social policy, labor, and women."—Patience A. Schell, American Historical Review
