Throughout the book, I have been very critical of Ehrenreich. However, as I finished the book, I must say that at the very least I applaud her for going out and doing the work in order to acquire a better understanding of low wage workers. While it does seem as though Ehrenreich went into her task with the answers she wanted (and therefore highlighting things that align with her prior preconceptions), I do think that what she found and looked at is very important. In particular, I liked reading her evaluation at the end of the book. I believe that it offers a plethora of information that Ehrenreich gathered on her journey. It also provides further insight into the problem she analyzed.
