Description

The Wages of Motherhood examines the emergence of maternalist social policy during the interwar period, revealing how welfare provisions shaped gender and racial inequality in America. Gwendolyn Mink, published by Cornell University Press, investigates the cultural dynamics of welfare movements between 1917 and 1942, exploring how Anglo-American women navigated social policy during a transformative era. Rather than focusing solely on institutional or class frameworks, this scholarly work illuminates the intersection of gender politics, racial dynamics, and welfare state development. The book addresses how progressive maternalist movements, whilst achieving important social gains, simultaneously reinforced existing patterns of discrimination. Essential reading for historians, policy scholars, and anyone interested in understanding how early twentieth-century welfare systems shaped modern inequality and the lasting impact of gendered social policy on American society.
