The Politics of Motherhood: Child and Maternal Welfare in England, 1900-1939 - Routledge Revivals

During the early 20th century maternal and child welfare became a national issue for the first time. Originally published in 1980, this book asks why child and maternal welfare policy took the particular form that it did during the Edwardian and inter-war years and in doing so brings together themes relating to women and social policy.
