Book Synopsis Keeping Women and Children Last by : Ruth Sidel
Book excerpt: As Ruth Sidel persuasively demonstrates, America, in its search for a post-Cold War enemy, has turned inward to target single mothers on welfare. Politicians have scapegoated and stigmatized female-headed families both as a method of social control and to divert attention from the severe problems that Americans face.
