Description

Sociologists from the University of Texas document the impact of gender, poverty, and ethnic and racial minority status on the physical and mental health of children and adult women in families without fathers. They explore the demographics, health- care and welfare policies, and the health effects of the culture of poverty not only on children and their mothers, but also on older women.
