This book is the first of four books based on a series of symposia
funded by COST, which is an intergovernmental framework for the
promotion of European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and
Technical Research. It draws on both historical and contemporary
European case-studies to offer a sophisticated account of the
relationship between gender and well-being. The authors focus on
key discussions of the changing conceptions of well-being from
early twentieth century calculations of the relationship between
income and the cost-of-living, to more recent critiques from
feminist writers. Their fascinating answers allow them to
significantly challenge the issue with the idea that well-being is
not only associated with income or opulence but also relates to
more abstract concepts including capabilities, freedom, and agency
of different women and men and will be of considerable interest to
economic and social historians, sociologists of health, gender,
sexuality and economists.
