State economic and social policy in the last two decades of the
twentieth century has been represented as woman-friendly, or, at
the very least, gender-neutral. Using a trans-disciplinary approach
embracing welfare systems, employment practices, education
structures and the health industry, this book views state-decision
making through an analytical feminist lens. What it reveals is that
under the guise of economic restructuring the relative euphoria
experienced by women during the second wave of feminism has been
dampened by state decision-making that undermines women's continued
economic and social advancement. Exposing the myth and tracing the
trends has implications which do not auger well for women in the
new millennium. This re-appraisal of state legislation and economic
strategies to address the welfare of women in the evolving state
provides a critical base for students, professionals and policy
makers concerned with the direction of state intervention.
