Postnatal depression (PND) is a common condition that can have a significant and sometimes long lasting impact on family life. It can have a detrimental effect on a woman's parenting capacity which in turn can have an adverse effect on the cognitive and emotional development of the infant. Similar to any episode of depression or low mood, depression after having a child affects the woman's feelings about herself and in turn may effect her interpersonal relationships.

In contrast, the writer Norman Cousins commented that there was a negative opinion on the women’s presence in the workforce despite women willing to acquire a living wage. He also stated in his book that the federal government proscribed holding government jobs by both members of a married couple, and many localities stopped hiring women whose husbands with a minimum wage (Cousins 1939).

The author Rebecca Blank, is bringing to our attention something that has been over looked, showing us the deeper problem of poverty among our single and divorced mothers. She shows us that the poverty among the single and divorced women is connected with the, fathers’ ability to pay his child support.

By what she is writing, she is not making excuses for the absent father, just the reasoning behind why he doesn’t or cannot pay.
