Reply-to: H-Net List for 'Putting the State Back In'

On Mon, 16 Jun 1997, Pam Roper, Department of History, University of Ottawa s057671@uottawa.ca wrote regarding Women and the Welfare State Bibliography:

A few months ago I asked for references relating to women and the welfare state for a bibliography that I was compiling. A number of you responded to my enquiry,for which I thank you, and also suggested that I might share the bibliography with the list which I am doing now.

The bibliography is by no means comprehensive. I have organized it into five major categories:

a) women and political representation - Canada;

b) women's organizations in Canada;

c) women and the welfare state , 1860-pre WWII - Canada;

d) women and the welfare state, 1860- pre WWII - US and otherinternational;

e) women and the welfare state, post WWII - Canada

As you can see my main area of interest is women and the state in Canada (particularly post WWII).

Cheers,

Pam Roper
