- Description
- Long before the earliest welfare systems were put into place, women were researching the conditions of social and economic life in Western nations, and their research would go on to inform the nascent welfare state in the early part of the twentieth century. Oakley researches these women ( including Aletta Jacobs and Rosa Manus), focusing on the period between 1880 and 1920, and uses their stories to bring together the histories of social reform, social science, welfare, and pacifism.
