Discusses how and why gender has been so important in shaping modern welfare provision. Key issues covered include: relationship between poverty, health and gender; case studies of female reformers; birth control; women in Labour movement

Gender, Health and Welfare deals primarily with the century before the creation of the classic welfare state in Britain. It 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.
