How do feminists frame a critique of welfare reform that supports women’s efforts to achieve economic independence without embracing the oppressive nature of the Personal Responsibility andWork Opportunity Reconciliation Act? By taking a human rights perspective, this article asserts that the success of any welfare program should be evaluated by whether it achieves its fundamental goal of allowing single mothers to keep their children and provide for them adequately. Both income and work are only means toward this end and are judged according to how well they achieve it.
