A classic in feminist and economic theory, this pamphlet analyzes the impact of social service cutbacks, changes in the job market, and victim-blaming myths like the Black matriarchy theses of Daniel Patrick Moynihan and George Gilder. Also highlights a progressive agenda for the future.

“Widespread poverty among women and children in the United States—the richest country in the world—is intolerable. This pamphlet exposes the root causes, giving us tools for action; the action is up to us.”
—Helen Rodriguez-Trias, Pediatrician, charter member of the National Women's Health Network
