- During World War II, American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, and many of them relied on federally funded child care programs. At the end of the war, working mothers vigorously protested the termination of child care subsidies. in this book Stoltzfus traces grassroots activism, and national and local policy debates concerning public funding of children's day care in the two decades after the end of World War II.
