Gender, Health and Welfare Summary
| "Gender, Health and Welfare" provides a stimulating introduction to an historical era which saw a huge expansion in welfare services, both state and voluntary, and during which women emerged as significant consumers' and providers' of various measures. The themes covered in this book include: a critical examination of how welfare policies in both England and Japan crucially affected women's life chances; a study of the relationship between poverty, health and gender from 1870 to the inauguration of the National Health Service; case studies of the housing reformer, Octavia Hill and the prominent female reformer, Louisa Twining; and an examination of the issue of birth control in post-World War One. |
