The modern definition of citizenship is directly related to T. H. Marshall’s definition of citizenship and development of welfare states. In his citizenship definition which he grounded on the rights discourse T. H. Marshall classified the rights as civil, political, and social in terms of their development processes. The concept of social citizenship which is shaped on the basis of social rights has a universal characteristic and is seen as the status provided to the individual by being the full member of a society. According to the definition of T. H. Marshall, social citizen is equal in terms of rights and obligations. While the definition made on the basis of class inequality seemingly doesn’t contain sexist structure, it is directly associated with paid labor. This definition is established on male dominance. Women become a part of social citizenship only if they work in paid jobs or because of their spouses. Women’s unpaid labor inside the house and their care labor are invisible and aren’t included in the scope of social citizenship. In this article the way women’s social rights, which stem from their unpaid labor inside the house and their care labor, is associated with social citizenship is discussed through an analysis of critics by feminist researchers made on the sexist structure of social citizenship
