Fran Benson is editorial director of ILR Press, an imprint of Cornell University Press.  She has been thinking about work and publishing books about work for several decades. These picks are part of the reason she received a special award from the Center for Study of Working Class Life and the Working Class Studies Association for her “farsighted intellectual leadership in bringing the field of working class studies into being.” They are also among those that have significantly affected her general perspective in recent years.
