Rural Women and Temporary Aid for Needy Families
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of the provisions of the 1998 Welfare Revision Act which emphasizes taking people off the welfare rolls and putting them to work. Approaches the provisions of the act from the perspective of rural women, noting transportation and childcare concerns as well as inequitable pay between men and women. Concludes that although the ideology of putting people to work and taking them off the welfare rolls is commendable, indeed a dire necessity in today's economically stressed times, it is an ideology which requires significantly more investment in both time and resources in order to meet the needs of the nation's rural women. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Single Mother's & The History Of Welfare -- Pitied But Not Entitled
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page review of Linda Gordon's book in which the writer analyzes how reformers view poor single mothers and welfare. Three of its chapters are about the views of the white women's social welfare network, the black women's social welfare network (excluded from the white women's groups mostly by raw segregation), and the white male social insurance reformer network. Gordon argues that contemporary welfare programs for single mothers were shaped by the ideas and the decisions that went into state aid programs created between 1910 and 1920, programs that were variously called mothers' pensions, widows' pensions and mothers' aid. Various sociopolitical points and arguments presented by Gordon are analytically presented. No other sources cited.
