Abstract Looking to the post-war future, in which the British state would take on responsibility for the welfare of citizens from the ’cradle to the grave’, William Beveridge was very clear that this meant quite different things for men and for women. Full employment would mean that men would always be able to support at least ’a wife and one child’ and it would be their responsibility to do so. Women would withdraw from the labour market on marriage to take up their other duties as mothers to the new generation. The provisions of the postwar British welfare state thus rested on a very strongly genderdifferentiated model of family life, in which men were full-time workers and women were full-time carers.
