Marriages and Families

Résumé du livre

The subtitle of this book, Reflection of a Gendered Society, and the theme that runs through all fifteen chapters--is both inspired and informed by the work of feminist scholars in sociology, psychology, child and family development, economics, and women's studies . Although there are many different schools of feminist thought, almost all share certain basic beliefs about intimate relationships. These have been expressed by a number of writers, but a particularly lucid presentation is found in Thorne and Yalom's 1992 edition of Rethinking the Family. We have tried to follow these basic beliefs about families as we conceptualized and created this book.
