Poor Women in Rich Countries: The Feminization of Poverty Over the Life Course

By Gertrude Goldberg

Oxford University Press

The first book to study women’s poverty over the life course, this wide-ranging collection focuses on the economic condition of single mothers and single elderly women–while also considering partnered women and immigrants–in eight wealthy but diverse countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
