Book Synopsis

Women workers and the revolutionary origins of the modern welfare state



Trade Review

"Lisa Dicaprio's long-anticipated book was worth the wait. . . . Dicaprio demonstrates concretely an important set of insights into the political economy of the labor process, the possibilities for the political mobilization of women during the French Revolution, and the emergence of new conceptions and new ways of implementing of the interrelationships of charity, welfare and the state."--H-France Review


"Dicaprio's book offers a fascinating look at public works projects for women in 18th-century France. . . . Recommended."--Choice
