Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The impact of social policy and the definition of social rights on women's autonomy has been a growing focus of social policy research in the past ten years. Feminist research has reconsidered Esping-Andersen's classical model in order to include an assessment of the consequences of the different welfare state regimes from women's point of view. In this growing body of research, much more attention has been paid to women as the targets of social policy than to women's agency in this field. However, if social rights contribute in shaping gender, women have also been fighting to reshape social rights according to their interests. I will look at the collective action of women in Quebec in the field of social rights, and more specifically in the field of family policy, that has been institutionalised as a distinct public policy domain in Quebec since the mid eighties. I will stress the role of women's policy machineries, and more specifically of the Quebec Council on the status of women, in echoing and formulating a feminist perspective in the field of social rights and family policy.
