Work and Family Commitments of Low-Income and Impoverished Women: Guilt Is for Mothers with Good Jobs

by Judith Hennessy

Book Overview

This book explores a paradox in the contemporary work-life debate where dual-earner mothers' decisions to limit or withdraw from the workforce to spend time with children yields understanding from the American public, while poor women who would otherwise limit work and rely on welfare are seen as shirking their responsibility to their children.
