I understand people's problem with the book, but I have a soft spot for Ehrenreich - her work on women and medicine is amazing.
In many ways the book was like one big "duh" about how it is impossible to get out of poverty in America, unfortunately not many people realize this. They still ascribe to the ridiculous "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology.
