Family, Dependence, and the Origins of the Welfare State: Britain and France, 1914–1945
Pedersen, Susan (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
The development of European welfare states in the first half of this century has often been seen as a response to the rise of class politics. This study of social policies in Britain and France between 1914 and 1945 contests this interpretation, arguing that early policymakers and social reformers were responding equally to a perceived crisis of family relations and gender roles.
