You are right!

Just google Francis Fox Priven and Richard Cloward.
From Wiki:

Piven was married to her long-time collaborator Richard Cloward until his death in 2001.[2] Together with Cloward, she wrote an article in the May 1966 issue of The Nation titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" advocating increased enrollment in social welfare programs in order to collapse that system and force reforms, leading to a guaranteed annual income.[8][9] This political strategy has been referred to as the "Cloward–Piven strategy".[10] During 2006/07 Piven served as the President of the American Sociological Association.[11]
