PAZ TRUEBA, Yolanda de. The Provincial Children’s Welfare Board: Initiatives for Poor Children in the Province of Buenos Aires (1917-1921). Secuencia [online]. 2020, n.106, e1706.  Epub 02-Mar-2020. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i106.1706.

This article begins by asking whether the advent of radicalism in the governorship of the province of Buenos Aires influenced the implementation of policies for children which, like the Children’s Board, had long been called for by public opinion and had been mobilized by previous conservative governments, which, however, due to various contingencies, had been unable to implement them. With the aim of contributing to the social history of childhood, it is assumed that the first radical governor did not prioritize them during the early stages of his administration.
