★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Lena Sommestad

In this volume, Lena Sommestad explores the significance of rural womanhood in the formation of Swedens gender-egalitarian welfare state in the early 20th century. Drawing on a rich array of documents, photographs, and interviews with women and men, she analyzes the changing gender division of labor in dairying and illuminates the dynamic processes and debates that shaped industrial workplaces. The book demonstrates the importance of rural womens gainful labor and organized activism to Swedens citizenship-based social policies, which enabled married women to combine childrearing with breadwinning.
