Publisher's Note
Entering the vigorous debate about the nature of the American welfare state, The Wages of Motherhood illuminates ways in which a "maternalist" social policy emerged from the crucible of gender and racial politics between the world wars. Gwendolyn Mink here examines the cultural dynamics of maternalist social policy, which have often been overlooked by institutional and class analyses of the welfare state. Mink maintains that the movement for welfare provisions, while resulting in important gains, reinforced existing patterns of gender and racial inequality. She explores how Anglo American women reformers, as they gained increasing political recognition, promoted an ideology of domesticity that became the core of maternalist social policy. Focusing on reformers such as Jane Addams, Grace Abbott, Katherine Lenroot, and Frances Perkins, Mink shows how they helped shape a social policy premised on moral character and cultural conformity rather than universal entitlement.

Industry reviews
"This fine book offers original analyses of the American welfare state. Carefully researched and tightly argued, it illuminates the source of today's social policy dilemmas."
Linda Gordon 

"This important, well-researched book not only is a major historical contribution, but also shows how debates and policy in the Progressive period cast their shadow over the fundamental issues of contemporary domestic politics."
Michael Rogin 

"Mink underlines the chasm that lay between women who had the power to make policy and women who needed public funds and services to keep their families alive....Mink's work suggests that, indeed, we do need to 'end welfare as we know it,' and to replace it with a generous, universal system of social protections--something we've never yet had."
