内容説明
The alarming rate at which marriages break up in the USA has made divorce as a subject a compelling one. Moreover, the fate of women during and after divorce is being documented by sociologists and feminists; it is common knowledge that a man's standard of living goes up after divorce, whereas a woman's plummets. Given that the incidence of divorce among lower-class and minority women is higher than for any other group, it is surprising that almost no attention has been given to divorce as it is experienced by black and white, working, and middle-class women. This text presents the experiences of divorced mothers in their own words. Chapters look at how and why marriages end; how women cope with divorce based on their race and class backgrounds; how these factors affect the degree to which women are successful in rebuilding their lives after divorce; battles for child support and involvement of divorced fathers.

内容説明
For Richer, For Poorer provides a new perspective on the impact of divorce on women. Based on interviews with a random sample of divorced mothers, this book identifies their real concerns: inadequate resources from their ex-husbands and the state, and unequal social policies. Presenting accounts of how they manage the divorce process, divorced women of diverse background describe their attempts to rebuild their own lives and those of their families. Demie Kurz proposes a reversal of policies which penalize the single-parent family by failing to provide mothers and children with adequate resources.
