Creating a Female Dominion in American Reform, 1890-1935

ISBN: 9780195089240 出版年：1994 页码：240 Muncy, Robyn Oxford University Press

Using the concept of a dominion, Muncy argues that during the Progressive era to the New Deal, female reformers built an interlocking set of organizations that attempted to control child welfare policy. By exploring that process, she illuminates the relationship between professionalization and reform, the origins and meaning of Progressive reform, and the role of women in creating the American welfare state.
