| Sommario/riassunto: | Work and Family Commitments of Low-Income and Impoverished Women explores a paradox in the contemporary work-life debate where dual-earner married mothers' decisions to limit or withdraw from the paid workforce to spend time with children yields understanding if not approval from the American public, while poor women who would otherwise limit paid work and rely on welfare are seen as shirking their responsibility to their children. This book explores the moral and ideological forces shaping poor mothers' response to this contradiction. |
