Abstract "Through an examination of inclusive social legislation, an expansive welfare apparatus, familialist employer policies, and populationist state practices, this book illustrates how reproductive citizenship - that is, gendered, sex-based social rights - served as the foundation for the integration of women, immigrants, and colonial subjects in France before 1945"-- Provided by publisher.
