by Gisela Bock
On This Page
Description
This collection sets out to analyze the influence of women's movements on the emergence of Europe's welfare state from the 1880s to the 1950s, and the limits of that influence. It compares the women's movements - and social policies concerning women - in the dictatorships of Italy, Germany and Spain with the democracies in Britain, France and Scandinavia. It throws new lights on feminism, especially in the inter-war period.Tags

Los doce ensayos que integran este volumen constituyen un análisis comparativo, a través de siete países de Europa occidental, de algunos aspectos del desarrollo paralelo del Estado de bienestar y los movimientos de mujeres entre 1880 y 1950, así como la visión de género que ambos procesos encarnaron y contribuyeron a erigir. La maternidad, analizada desde distintos puntos de vista, yace en el fondo de este estudio: como experiencia vital para la mujer, como se reflejó en los movimientos feministas de la época, y como uno de los objetivos de la política de los estados de bienestar emergentes en Europa.
