Abstract
Mothers' pensions were an important chapter in the story of American welfare state development. Thus far scholars have focused their analysis at the national level. However, fiscal and administrative control over pensions typically remained at the local level. Because of this, an understanding of the implementation and consequences of mothers' pensions requires the sort of local-level analysis undertaken by Joanne Goodwin.
