Emotional Histories of Relational Rupture
Divorce, American Style
In this tightly argued, deeply researched work, Suzanne Kahn explores how and why the experience of divorce in the late 1960s and 1970s birthed a generation of feminist divorce reformers who fought, with varying degrees of success, for legislation that would protect women from the economic hardships that frequently accompanied the end of their marriages. Kahn argues that while these reformers wanted to push the state to recognize marriage as an e…
Ted Ownby. Hurtin’ Words
Hurtin’ Words: Debating Family Problems in the Twentieth-Century South, a study of how southerners defined and debated the problems of family life throughout the twentieth century, compellingly addresses significant gaps in several previously disparate historiographies. While the history of families, black and white, has long been central to the study of the South through the end of the nineteenth century, it has been subsumed under other categor…

Buying a Bride
Sweeping in scope and very readable, Buying a Bride uses the long history of marital immigration to North America to burnish the reputation of mail-order unions, which, Marcia A. Zug argues, have been cast unjustly as exploitative and degrading to women in the contemporary United States. Reminiscent of the sociologist Judith Stacey's case for the decriminalization and potential benefits of polygamy (Unhitched, 2011), Zug's Buying a Bride contends…
Domestic Tensions, National Anxieties
Since the late nineteenth century, fears that marriage is in crisis have reverberated around the world. Each chapter in Domestic Tensions, National Anxieties considers a moment in which proclamations of marriage crisis have erupted, revealing how people deployed the institution to debate relationships, the nation, and the problems of both.
Until Choice Do Us Part
Mark E. Brandon. States of Union
Over the past several decades, many historians of marriage, childhood, and family life in the United States have challenged the political trend of romanticizing the unchanging, “traditional” American family. In doing so, they have demonstrated that the family has evolved significantly—and not always for the worse, as some critics have suggested—throughout U.S. history. In this ambitious work, Mark E. Brandon adds an important new layer to the exi…

Babette Faehmel. College Women in the Nuclear Age
Exposing and analyzing the exaggerations, simplifications, and inconsistencies in The Feminine Mystique (1963), Betty Friedan's influential critique of 1950s suburban life, has been an ongoing project for historians of women and gender in the United States. In this engaging work, Babette Faehmel seeks to dismantle one of the more persistent myths perpetuated by Friedan: that mid-century college women passively accepted the cultural message that m…
