Scope and Contents

The responses to a questionnaire on the Second Annual Conference of Women in the War on Poverty in 1968 highlighted various programs and initiatives to alleviate poverty in the United States, including Head Start, Job Corps, education, legislation, welfare, race relations, employment, health, and community planning. Participants found the conference useful for networking, learning, and discussing poverty-related issues, but also noted areas for improvement such as more practical suggestions, longer workshops, and better coordination of community efforts. Some felt there was too much focus on Negro problems and not enough on other minority groups.
