“An outstanding resource, written by one of the brightest of the social studies researchers.”

“Excellent illustrations of the impact of poverty on issues such as self-concept, coping skills, caregiving, and cognitive responses of women born or drawn into poverty … the book extends the research toward an action agenda that is both informed and creative.”
