Description
[Did women have a role in creating the American version of the welfare state? That question gets an unequivocally affirmative answer in most recent historical literature. The problem is the kind of welfare state they created: by all accounts it reaffirms and perpetuates class, race, and gender differences, and is on the whole neither generous nor caring. And therein lies a dilemma. How does a feminist historian cope when uncovering the role of women yields such unpalatable results?]–from the first page for lack of synopsis
