ESSAY ON: “Lives on the Edge: Single Mothers and their Children in the Other America” by Valerie Polakow

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: This 7 page report discusses Polakow's 1993 book and the information it presents about American women and their children who live in poverty. The point Polakow makes is that it is an unrelenting struggle in which there are painfully few opportunities for escape. Until American society itself changes its beliefs and policies, women and children will continue to live a near-subsistence level of existence in the land of plenty, equality, and justice. Bibliography lists only the primary source.
