Children's Policy and Women's Policy: Congruence or Conflict?

Miller, Dorothy C.

Social Work, v32 n4 p289-92 Jul-Aug 1987

Uses feminist theory to analyze why social policies perpetuate traditional assumptions about mothers and do not provide adequate help for children. Suggests tensions between policies for women and children will continue until policymakers view the welfare of children as a concern of the entire society. (Author)
