Mothers of a New World - Maternalist Politics and the Origins of Welfare States (Paperback)

In Mothers of a New World historians of Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden and the United States provide a sweeping view of the scope of women's work and make comparisons across societies and over time. The essays analyze tensions between reformers and clients arising from differences of class, race, ethnicity and religion. This collection will compel readers to revise their accounts of welfare state development by moving issues of gender and the work of female reformers from the margins to the centre.
