Home,Women, and Children: Social Services Home Visits in Postwar Sweden

This article deals with how governmental and municipal welfare authorities in Sweden carried out personal case studies between 1940 and 1970. Home visits were used by the authorities to generate knowledge about the woman under investigation. The selected cases are taken from inquiries undertaken in connection with proposed sterilizations, abortions, and adoptions, and from child welfare officers' surveillance of children born out of wedlock.

A home visit both generated factual evidence about the woman and her living conditions and seemed to guarantee the authenticity of previously acquired knowledge.

The article underlines the close assocation of the flat/house and the woman. The home, and the people living in it, are viewed as manifestations of the character of the woman under investigation.

The concluding remarks consider how individuals in modern society become the object of the authorities' knowledge and power. The home beomes an arena of general interest and action, rather than a private sphere.
