Abstract

"Illegitimacy: Changing Services for Changing Times" is a collection of seven probing papers presented at the 1969 National Conference of Social Welfare. The foreword by Rose Mary Hill, Vice Chairman of the National Council, is an excellent review of "certain common threads that run through them, different though the papers may be in subject, content, and emphasis. Most striking perhaps is the willingness, indeed the determination on the part of a number of the authors, to examine and demolish some of the stereotypes that too long have dominated popular and even on occasion, professional attitudes toward illegitimacy."
