Title	:	Pitied but Not Entitled: Single Mothers and the History of Welfare
Author	:	Linda Gordon

When Americans denounce "welfare", most are thinking of the program of aid for single mothers and their children--the only program of the Social Security Act to become stigmatized. Gordon uncovers the tangled roots of competing visions of welfare and shows that welfare reform can only work if it recognizes that single motherhood is an enduring aspect of contemporary life.click here to download
