Elizabeth Faulkner Baker (10 December 1885-30 January 1973) was an American economist and academic who specialized in scientific management and the relationship between employment and technological change, especially the role of women. Dr. Elizabeth Faulkner Baker was professor emeritus at Barnard College. She joined the Barnard faculty in 1919. Dr. Baker received a Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1925. She undertook a study of the commercial printing plants in New York City, published in 1933. One of her findings was that when presses were fed by machine instead of by hand, there was an increase in the employment of fully skilled pressmen; it was the unskilled assistants who suffered unemployment. At Barnard, Dr. Baker was chairman of the economics department from 1940 to her retirement in 1952. Her publications included "Printers and Technology" (1957), a history of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union which made her an honorary member, and "Technology and Women's Work" (1964), on the place of women in the U. S. labor market. This is a documentary history of the largest international printing trade union in the world. Specialization within the industry led to specialization among graphic-arts workers, and in 1889 the pressmen broke from the International Typographical Union to form their own organization, followed by the bookbinders, the stereotypers and electrotypers, and the photoengravers. The book analyzes the Pressmen's gains not only under George Berry's long and eventful administration, but also under the Union's leaders who preceded and succeeded him.
