Abstract:
'As the title suggests, the objective of this fine collection of high quality essays is to incorporate gender into comparative welfare state analysis.... the essays enrich current knowledge of variations among welfare states and offer new or enlarged concepts which challenge widely held tenets. Above all, the book forces us to carefully consider contexts and to avoid quick conclusions' - Journal of European Social Policy.
