- Summary
- This is the story of a community organization started by a group of Puerto Rican "homemakers" in 1965 with federal antipoverty funds. Showing what really goes on inside schools and classrooms, these portraits of modern-day heroines address important topics like: How to eliminate poverty--specifically, how to address the unfinished business left by the 1996 "reform" of welfare; How to provide good early childhood education in a way that simultaneously strengthens families; How to involve parents in their children's education; and more.
