Why have American politics developed differently from politics in Europe? In this innovative and insightful book, Gwendolyn Mink approaches this question from a new angle: she asks what determined union labor's political interests and how those interests influenced the political role forged by the American Federation of Labor.

Entering the vigorous debate about the nature of the American welfare state, The Wages of Motherhood illuminates ways in which a "maternalist" social policy emerged from the crucible of gender and racial politics between the world wars. Gwendolyn Mink here examines the cultural dynamics of maternalist social policy, which have often been overlooked by institutional and class analyses of the welfare state.
