Description

This important book looks at the changes in AFDC, Social Security, and Unemployment Insurance, and welfare reform. This new edition reveals how welfare policy scapegoats women more than ever to justify widespread retrenchment and to divert the public's attention from the real causes of the nation's mounting economic woes.
