本文认为性别、种族和阶级在福利改革中起着重要作用。它提供了美国单身母亲福利计划的简要历史概述；描述福利改革的主要条款（强制工作，促进婚姻和限制联邦政府在更广泛的社会中的作用）；并确定对妇女和儿童的影响。它的结论是，福利改革最好被理解为新自由主义/右翼对国家的攻击的一部分。
This article argues that gender, race and class matter in welfare reform. It provides a brief historical overview of the US welfare programme for single mothers; describes the main provisions of welfare reform (enforcing work, promoting marriage and limiting the role of the federal government in wider society); and identifies the impact on women and children. It concludes that welfare reform is best understood as part of the neo-liberal/Right attack on the state.
