La correlación entre cuidados y género femenino en las primeras medidas de beneficencia sobre menores del siglo XIX
Abstract
This analysis of the regulations concerning the charitable assistance to minors shows the mechanisms by which these practices were understood as a sexualized activity, typical of women and as such, without any political value. The legislative texts transfer the opacity of the tasks carried out by women in assisting minors, as is the case of wet nurses, Sisters of Charity or Boards of Ladies, in a political context in which charity was moving towards a public model.
