Seeing Low-Income Single Moms: Intersectionality Meets Struggles for an Anti-Oppressive Practice
From: Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work
$1.90
This chapter offers an intersectional view of low-income single mothers, many of whom are racialized or Indigenous or have other marginalized identities. This reading examines why these women are often judged and vilified, rather than experiencing welfare system supports that sustain and support them. Where these views originate and why they are perpetuated is discussed.
