Description
Christopher Lasch has examined the role of women and the family in Western society throughout his life as a writer, thinker, and historian. The impact of politics and economics on women and the family, with a special emphasis on the lives of children, was a strong and enduring concern of his. Questioning a static vision of patriarchy, this book starts in ancient Greece and moves through England to America to explore the variety of shapes women's experience has taken and why. An introduction by Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn puts these writings on women and the family into the context of Christopher Lasch's oeuvre and lays out their connections to one another.
