A critical review of the current status of low‐income women reveals how patriarchy, violence, and discrimination mitigates against their employment and contributes to their poverty. Myths that fuel prejudice against the poor have led to public policy and welfare legislation based on individualistic rather than structural assumptions about the causes of poverty. Research on the effects of welfare reform reinforces the conclusion that changes in social welfare and policy are necessary for income parity and improvement in the employment opportunities, access, and status of low‐income women. A human‐capital model and recommendations for macro‐level changes in public policy and programming that address the systemic causes of women’s poverty are presented
