Starting from the everyday lives of women struggling to make ends meet, it represents an institutional ethnography of the WIC Program that identifies and explores how bureaucratic rigidity and hierarchy relate to personal decision-making in a context of pregnancy, parenting, and poverty. 606 $aMaternal and infant welfare$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aFood relief$zUnited States$xCost control 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aMaternal and infant welfare$xGovernment policy 615 0$aFood relief$xCost control. 676 $a363.8830973 700 $aMorrissey$b Suzanne$01671688 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813876703321 996 $aMotherhood, poverty, and the WIC program in urban America$94034460 997 $aUNINA
