Irish women, as actual or potential mothers, were frequently the
direct or indirect targets of much debate and welfare legislation
during the first half of the twentieth century. Considerable
research has been carried out in relation to welfare development
and the centrality of maternal welfare in often Western European
countries. This book provides an analysis of maternity policy and
provision in Dublin thus adding the history of Ireland's maternal
welfare to the growing corpus of international research on the
topic. It also 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. This book
re-evaluates the role of various lobby groups in the formation of
welfare policy and reveals a much more complex relationship between
church, state, the medical profession, voluntary groups and
mothers. It also provides fascinating insights into central
personalities in modern Irish history such as Eamon de Valena and
John Charles McQuaid. and gender history.
