[Juffer] explores the experiences of single mothers across various social and economic conditions, taking a critical look at current social policy." - Library Journal, "Juffer points to a new formation-the domestic intellectual-and in that gesture opens up the concept of the intellectual to a more complicated theoretical engagement. With it, she re-imagines marriage, mothering, and the spatial dynamics of private life, and returns them to a possibly radical and liberatory space. This powerful and transformative work adds to our understanding of the value of learning from ordinary life." - Wahneema Lubiano, Duke University
