Originally published in 1996, this text discusses how and why gender was important in shaping modern welfare provision. It provides an introduction to an era which saw an expansion in welfare services, both state and voluntary, and during which women emerged as significant consumers and providers of various welfare measures.

Making a Medical Living explores the neglected socio-economic history of medical practice, beginning with the first voluntary hospital in 1720 and ending with national health insurance in 1911. It looks at public appointments in hospitals and dispensaries, office under public welfare systems, and at private practice.
