Dear WMST-Lers:

    I am very pleased to announce that the entire book of papers from
the 1998 Univ.of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Consortium Conference:
SPEAKING OUT: WOMEN, POVERTY, AND PUBLIC POLICY, ed. by Katherine
A. Rhoades and Anne Statham is now available online. The direct URL is

http://www.library.wisc.edu/libraries/WomensStudies/speakingout.pdf

but you may wish to read some hints on navigating a "pdf" file first and do
better using as your starting point:

http://www.library.wisc.edu/libraries/WomensStudies/homemore.htm#bookpubs

    The collection of papers offer a variety of viewpoints on the topic of
welfare reform. The authors provide historical perspectives and policy
critiques, examine how welfare reform is taking place in various states in
the U.S.,
and report on what the idea of welfare means in other countries. Some
studies offer resources and strategies for teaching about poverty in the
classroom,
while others discuss the experience of welfare recipients, and some analyze
literary explorations of poverty. Several scholars speak from the viewpoint of
having themselves been poor and/or on welfare at some point.

Sincerely,
Phyllis Holman Weisbard
