Hello, all. We're continuing our readings that focus on the intersection between race, gender, and inequality. This week, we specifically look at women and poverty, with three short pieces (about 12 pages of reading, total). I'm including a brief by the Center for American Progress, "The Straight Facts on Women and Poverty": http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/10/pdf/women_poverty.pdf
Also, a 2002 census report on Black Americans, that discusses many social and economic measures, disaggregated by gender and age: http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/p20-541.pdf, and a fact sheet put out by the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) titled "Single Older African American Women and Poverty": http://www.wiserwomen.org/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=426&Itemid=0
I hope you enjoy these, and wish I could be there to discuss them with you. Best - Amy
