In it the author argues that an appreciation of the way in which women are defined by welfare policies, and have been since the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, is essential to a true understanding of the nature of those policies and of the Welfare State. An important, possible the most important, function of welfare policy has been to promote and retain a particular form of the family; indeed, one can define the Welfare State as the State organization of domestic life.Tavistock women's studies.WomenGreat BritainHistoryPublic welfareGreat BritainWelfare stateWomen and socialismSocialismGreat BritainWomenHistory.Public welfareWelfare state.Women and socialism.Socialism300361/.941362.8Wilson Elizabeth419152MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814342903321Women and the welfare state1041503UNINA
