Title Social Engineering and the Woman Question: Sweden in the Thirties
 
Creator Hirdman, Yvonne
 
Subject

 
Description "Happiness is a new idea in Europe," the Jacobin Saint Just reportedly remarked in 1793. In this article, I shall discuss the way in which this idea of happiness was transformed into the idea of social welfare policy in Sweden in the 1930s, and the way in which women played an important, although subordinated, part in this process.
