Linda Taylor
Linda Taylor (born
Martha Louise White; January 1926 – April 18, 2002) was an American woman who committed extensive
welfare fraud and, after the publication of an article in the ''
Chicago Tribune'' in fall 1974, became identified as the "
welfare queen". Accounts of Taylor's activities were used by then-presidential candidate
Ronald Reagan, for his
1976 presidential campaign onwards, to illustrate his criticisms of
social programs in the United States. Her criminal activities are believed to have extended beyond welfare fraud and may have included assault, theft,
insurance fraud,
bigamy,
kidnapping, and possibly even murder.
