      abstract = {Why did the War on Poverty give way to the war on welfare?  Many in the United States saw the welfare reforms of 1996  as the inevitable result of twelve years of conservative  retrenchment in American social policy, but there is  evidence that the seeds of this change were sown long  before the Reagan Revolution- and not necessarily by the  Right.  Historian Marisa Chappell provides a fresh look at  the national debate about poverty, welfare, and economic  rights from the 1960s through the mid-1990s. In Chappell's  telling, we experience the debate over welfare from  multiple perspectives, including those of conservatives of  several types, liberal antipoverty experts, national  liberal organizations, labor, government officials,  feminists of various persuasions, and poor women  themselves.},
