This book argues that the welfare state has been so fundamental to the life histories of women born in Britain between the late 1930s and early 1950s that these women should be considered the ‘welfare state generation’. The post-war expansion of the welfare state was one of the most transformative political changes of the twentieth century, yet we know comparatively little about its development in practice or its long-term impact on those who grew up within it.
