‘Knijn and Naldini’s edited collection is a welcome addition to the vast area of citizenship studies that highlight many challenges to active EU citizenship participation and individual EU citizenship rights. It aims to highlight discrepancy within EU citizenship along the lines of gender, age and mobility. As such, the book situates itself within the work on gendered citizenship in welfare States that interrogates care policies as an aspect of gendered social rights.’
