Crafted by male-dominated legislative bodies whose members most likely never had to choose between paying the rent of feeding their kids, established policies primarily protect the popular programs that ensure politicians' re-election. This volume offers a feminist perspective on the 21st century attitude toward poverty, illustrated by the words of women forced to live every day with social policies they had no voice in developing. Topics include the struggles of daily life, crime, health care, education, employment, and a discussion of capitalism, inequality, greed, and moral obligation in a free society. In the unrestrained pursuit of wealth, this work shows that America has created a vast poverty problem, making the rich richer and forcing the poor into a forgotten class. 000449019 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000449019 650_0 $$aPoor women$$zUnited States. 000449019 650_0 $$aPoverty$$zUnited States. 000449019 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 000449019 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDail, Paula W.$$tWomen and poverty in 21st century America.$$dJefferson, N.C. : McFarland, c2012$$z9780786449033$$w(DLC) 2011042801$$w(OCoLC)733232533 000449019 8520_ $$bacq 000449019 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000449019 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=834204$$zOnline Access 000449019 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:449019$$pGLOBAL_SET 000449019 980__ $$aEBOOK 000449019 980__ $$aBIB 000449019 982__ $$aEbook 000449019 983__ $$aOnline
