The twentieth-century history of the Swedish welfare state and public-service sector is critical to understanding the changing role of women in Sweden, as the expansion of the country's service production, beginning in the 1960s, has been mainly the result of welfare-state policies. Yet women's self-employment and wage work in the service industry has been neglected as an economic factor in both traditional economic and business history accounts and in historical studies of gender. Some suggestions are made for future explorations of the Swedish service sector as it operates in the shadow of the welfare state.

It is best to spend only half that time in reading, she exhorts, and advises her readers to use the remaining time in interpretative practice (127).1 Collins anticipates the advice of subsequent Black thinkers, such as Anna Julia Cooper and Victoria Earle Matthews, and reflects the counsel expressed in the columns of the Woman's Era, the official news organ of the Black women's club movement.2 As I will explore here, these principles are in nearly perfect alignment with those undergirding female development in Emma Dunham Kelley-Hawkins's novel Four Girls at Cottage City. For readers familiar with late nineteenth-century history and the shifting racial provenance of the novel, the link between its lead heroine and Victoria Earle enlarges the imagined narrative scope of the novel; throu...
