Description

Focusing on the expansion of maternal and child health and welfare services in the early twentieth century, this book shows that London mothers and children tended to be better served than those in provincial cities or rural areas. A central theme of the book is the complexity of socio-economic and political forces that determined the differing levels of provision and health standards within the city.
