Produktbeschreibung
• knowledge production about social problems by “women welfare activist” (professional social workers, lay experts, left wing militants);
• municipal-level social assistance policy, with emphasis on a pioneering generation of women local politicians in shaping welfare practices;
• paid household work by underpaid servants;
• unpaid household work by homemakers or precariously employed women in working class communities. The book offers a novel interpretation of state-society relations after the First World War, showing that unpaid labor and gender relations were crucial in responding to economic crisis in an Eastern European urban setting and beyond. At once a local and transnational history of women’s work, Welfare Work Without Welfare contributes to the historicization of social reproduction work and to the rethinking of the history of welfare states.
