Students Against Child Marriage's Object Summary:
Jyl J. Josephson’s 1997 book, “Gender, Families, and State: Child Support Policy in the United States” was among the first to utilize child support policy as a lens to which the relationship between the American state and families may be observed. In this book review for the journal “Gender & Society,” Roschelle reviews Josephson’s book while putting it in conversation with the similarly formative and related text, Kathleen Mullan Harris’ “Teen Mothers and the Revolving Welfare Door.”
