Bould, Sally

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 39, 2, 339-348, May 77

This paper examines black and white female heads of families interviewed in 1967 in a national longitudinal sample of women, age 30-44. Results suggest poor women and women dependent upon AFDC, child support and other stigmatizing, unstable sources of income feel less able to plan for their lives. (Author)
