Resumo
Public Assistance to the poor in the United States was always been reluctant and especially cruel to women. A society that from the outset prized Kantian principles of individual
freedom over Rousseau’s notions of social contract and that was dominated by a puritanical
morality saw poverty as self-made. If individuals had freedom of choice, bad outcomes were
necessarily caused by bad choices. The poor had themselves to blame.
