Résumé : |
ENGLISH :
This chapter suggests that explanations for the prominence bestowed on women's drinking in various epochs are to be found in contemporary political and social circumstances and in ideas concerning gender and women's position in society, rather than in any 'neutral' or ,scientific' evidence of women's misuse of alcohol'. The focus here is on the factors which resulted in the emergence of women as a risk group in modern Britain, and more specifically in England. Some comparison with the late Victorian era (approximately 1870 to 1920) is instructive, and some points about that period are included here. This comparison highlights the way in which the modern definition of women's drinking as a social problem has emerged from a very different social and ideological context from that which gave rise to concern with women's drinking in the nineteenth century.
