This fascinating book provides a detailed account of the history
of maternity and child welfare in Dublin between 1922 and 1960. In
so doing it places maternity and child welfare in the context of
twentieth-century Irish history, offering one of the only accounts
of how women and children were viewed, treated and used by key
lobby groups in Irish society and by the Irish state. Mother and
Child is of critical importance to understanding the political and
social history of modern Ireland as it examines the responses of
the State, the church, voluntary groups and women to the emergence
of the welfare State in Ireland. As such it makes a welcome
contribution to Irish political, social, medical and gender
history.
