Óskáldað efni

An expert in family law and policy presents a thought-provoking examination of the stereotypes, realities, and possibilities of single-parent families.

Single-parent families succeed. Within these families children thrive, develop, and grow, just as they do in a variety of family structures. Tragically, they must do so in the face of powerful legal and social stigma that works to undermine them. As Nancy E. Dowd argues here, this stigma is founded largely on myths which result in harshly punitive social policies.

Dowd details the primary justifications for stigmatizing single-parent families, marshalling an impressive array of resources that portray a very different picture of them. She describes them in all their forms, with particular attention to the differential treatment given to never-married and divorced single parents, and to the impact of gender, race, and class. Illustrating the harmful impact of current laws concerning divorce, welfare, and employment, Dowd makes a powerful case for centering policy around the welfare and equality of all children.
