Working from the Margins: Voices of Mothers in Poverty

Working from the Margins: Voices of Mothers in Poverty Book Description

Virginia E. Schein shatters the stereotype of mothers on welfare. The women she interviewed in cities, towns, and rural areas talked to her about their deep commitment to the children they are raising in poverty, about the abuse they have endured, about their eagerness for meaningful work, and about their inventiveness in stretching scarce dollars. In a policy debate increasingly dominated by shrill, punitive voices, Schein argues that the experiences and the collective wisdom of these women cannot be ignored.
