 | Myth of the Welfare Queen by David Zucchino
David Zucchino, foreign editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer , argues that the constant barrage of stereotypes and myths about welfare queens is a poor substitute for the frank, honest, and accurate discussion needed if this country is to come to terms with one of its most daunting social problems. To prove his point, Zucchino offers a glimpse into the actual lives of two welfare mothers by following them as they contend with daily circumstances that would constitute insurmountable tragedies for most middle-class Americans. The resulting glimpse of a reality unknown to most of us is a both a tribute to the resiliency of these women in the face of overwhelming difficulty, and a call to responsible discourse that trades in facts instead of stereotypes.
