| Publisher Description: During the twentieth century, child care policy in British Columbia matured in the shadow of a persistent political uneasiness with working motherhood. Charting the growth of the child care movement in this province, Working Mothers and the Child Care Dilemma examines how ideas about motherhood, paid work, and social welfare have influenced universal child care discussions and consistently pushed access to child care to the margins of BC's social policy agenda. Lisa Pasolli also celebrates those who have lobbied for child care as part of women's rights as workers, parents, and citizens. |
