Feminists and State Welfare (RLE Feminist Theory) (Paperback)

Designed for students of social policy and women s studies, this text gives a readable account of the wide range of feminist ideas about women and welfare. The authors draw on feminist theory, research and analysis to explore women s experiences of welfare, and the debates within feminism on how and why the welfare state oppresses women. In an original contribution they discuss women s impact on the development of the welfare state both as feminist campaigners and as pioneers of new welfare professions. The book concludes by reviewing contemporary feminist strategies to transform the welfare state to meet women s needs. Whilst the authors put forward their own evaluation of these different feminist approaches, they aim to leave readers with plenty of scope to make up their own minds on the issues.
