{"product_id":"cultivating-health-los-angeles-women-and-public-health-reform-9780813545288","title":"Cultivating Health: Los Angeles Women and Public Health Reform","description":"At the dawn of the Progressive Era, when America was experiencing an industrial boom, many working families often ate contaminated food, lived in decaying urban tenements, and had little access to medical care. In a city that demanded change, Los Angeles women, rather than city officials, championed the call to action.\u003cp\u003eCultivating Health, an interdisciplinary chronicle, details women's impact on remaking health policy, despite the absence of government support. Combining primary source and municipal archival research with comfortable prose, Jennifer Lisa Koslow explores community nursing, housing reform, milk sanitation, childbirth, and the campaign against venereal disease in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Los Angeles. She demonstrates how women implemented health care reform and civic programs while laying the groundwork for a successful transition of responsibility back to government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoslow highlights women's home health care and urban policy-changing accomplishments and pays tribute to what would become the model for similar service-based systems in other American centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Lisa Koslow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813545288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Lisa Koslow is an assistant professor of history and director of the Historical Administration and Public History Program at Florida State University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181788328051,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":91.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_1a56d6ec-cb43-4497-b6be-714f1b11da4d.jpg?v=1766931824","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/cultivating-health-los-angeles-women-and-public-health-reform-9780813545288","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
