Missing persons: women in child welfare.

Abstract

This article examines the presence, visibility, and influence of women in the child welfare system, as clients, workers, and decision makers, and explores impediments to the reconceptualization of child welfare as a women's issue. Four directions for change are discussed, including consciousness-raising, organizing, infusing of child welfare with feminist forms, and reshaping feminist thought to include class and race as central issues.
