Campaigns like this support a public narrative that portrays teen mothers as threatening the moral order, bankrupting state coffers, and causing high rates of poverty, incarceration, and school dropout. These efforts demonize teen mothers but tell us nothing about their lives before they became pregnant. In this myth-shattering book, the authors tell the life stories of 108 brown, white, and black teen mothers, exposing the problems in their lives often overlooked in pregnancy prevention campaigns. Some stories are tragic and painful, marked by sexual abuse, partner violence, and school failure. Others depict "girl next door" characters whose unintended pregnancies lay bare insidious gender disparities. Offering a fresh perspective on the links between teen births and social inequalities, this book demonstrates how the intersecting hierarchies of gender, race, and class shape the biographies of young mothers. 606 $aTeenage pregnancy$zUnited States 606 $aTeenage girls$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTeenage pregnancy 615 0$aTeenage girls$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306.874/32 700 $aErdmans$b Mary Patrice$01053453 702 $aBlack$b Timothy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459989903321 996 $aOn becoming a teen mom$92485352 997 $aUNINA
