Description

Poor Women, Powerful Men chronicles the Louisiana Family Health Foundation, the most extensive family planning program ever to operate in the United States. Martha C. Ward's even-handed account examines the mechanisms of politics, poverty, and public health policies at work in reproductive rights controversies and health care delivery to disadvantaged communities. Beginning in the early 1960s when Louisiana ranked among the nation's most underdeveloped states, this comprehensive study reveals how systemic barriers, economic hardship, and policy decisions shaped family planning initiatives and their outcomes. Ward's research provides essential historical perspective on the intersection of public health, social welfare, and reproductive autonomy in America.
