| Abstract
|
:
|
This volume draws on both historical and contemporary European case-studies to offer a sophisticated account of the relationship between gender and well-being. The authors focus on key discussions of the changing conceptions of well-being from early twentieth century calculations of the relationship between income and the cost-of-living, to more recent critiques from feminist writers. Their findings will be of considerable interest to Sociologists of Health, Gender, Sexuality and Economics.
