These \u003ci\u003eateliers\u003c\/i\u003e disclose new aspects of the process which transformed Old Regime charity into revolutionary welfare initiatives characterized by secularization, centralization, and entitlements based on citizenship. This study is the first to examine women and the welfare state in its formative period at a time when modern concepts of human rights were elaborated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn The Origins of the Welfare State\u003c\/i\u003e, Lisa DiCaprio reveals how the women working in the \u003ci\u003eateliers\u003c\/i\u003e, municipal welfare officials, and the national government vied to define the meaning of revolutionary welfare throughout the Revolution. Presenting demands for improved wages and working conditions to a wide array of revolutionary officials, the women workers exercised their rights as \"passive citizens\" capaciously and shaped the meanings of work, welfare, and citizenship. Looking backward to the Old Regime and forward to the nineteenth century, this study explores the interventionist spirit that characterized liberalism in the eighteenth century and serves as a bridge to the history of entitlements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa DiCaprio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252030214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252030215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Lisa DiCaprio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602687643903,"sku":"9780252030215","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d143aa0e-2286-4191-b1e4-23a1dd6db266.jpg?v=1739694986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-origins-of-the-welfare-lisa-dicaprio-9780252030215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
