This book traces women's influence on maternity policy in Norway
from 1880-1940. Maternity policies, including maternity leave,
midwifery services and public assistance for mothers, were some of
the first welfare policies enacted in Norway. Feminists, midwives,
and working women participated in their creation and helped
transform maternity policies from a restriction to a benefit.
Situating Norway within the larger European context, the book
contributes to discussions of Scandinavian welfare state
development and further untangles the relationship between social
policy and gender equality. The study of poor, rural women
alongside urban middle-class feminists is rooted in an inclusive
archival source base that speaks to the interplay between local and
national welfare officials and recipients, the development and
implementation of laws in diverse settings, the divergent effects
maternity policies had on women, and women's varied response.
