In the fourth edition of Regulating the Lives of Women: Social Welfare Policy from Colonial Times to the Present , Abramovitz traces how the welfare state regulated the lives of women from colonial times to the present. Drawing on important feminist concepts-social reproduction, the gender division of labor, and patriarchy-Abramovitz successfully exposes the gendered and racialized myths and stereotypes built into welfare state programs. The book carefully explains the contextual conditions that contributed to the precursors of the modern welfare state, its rise and expansion after World War II, and the recent neoliberal effort to dismantle the cash assistance programs most likely to lift women out of poverty. This edition marks the most extensive overhaul to date. It revises the conceptual and background chapters, discusses cash assistance programs, and considers emerging ideas such as the role of economic crises in the development of the US welfare state. It also considers the future of the welfare state under the second Trump Presidency. Regulating the Lives of Women is an essential resource for all students of social work, sociology, history, political science, public policy, and gender studies.
