The Suburban Ideal and Suburban Realities
Surviving the Great Depression
Cleveland's Child Welfare System and the “American Dilemma,” 1941–1964
This historical survey of Cleveland's child welfare system focuses on discriminatory practices that excluded black children from private orphanages, diverting them instead to public detention homes.

Fallen Women, Federated Charities, and Maternity Homes, 1913-1973
Historians of social policy have emphasized its twentieth-century modernization: the substitution of a secular for a religious outlook, of trained professionals for "friendly visitors," of organized, efficient delivery of services for well-intentioned but unsystematic philanthropy. However, an examination of the changing relationship between a federated charity organization that self-consciously embodied these modern trends and member maternity h…
Seduced and Abandoned in an American City
My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn
