Validation of the WFRQ in grandfamilies
The current quantitative study examined the validity of the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) for use in grandfamilies (n = 70).

The Family of Woman: Lesbian Mothers, Their Children, and the Undoing of Gender
Amidst the shrill and discordant notes struck in debates over the make-up—or breakdown—of the American family, the family keeps evolving.

Based on intensive interviews and extensive firsthand observation, The Family of Woman chronicles the experience of thirty-four families headed by lesbian mothers whose children were concei…

How are parenthood, kinship and procreation being redefined in the context of new reproductive technologies? Has reproductive choice become part of consumer…
Rozzie and Harriet: Gender and Family Patterns of Lesbian Coparents
In this article the author explores the ways in which lesbian coparents divide household, child care, and paid labor to learn whether, and the degree to which, they adopt egalitarian work and family arrangements. Informed by a brief overview of U.S. gay liberation and family politics, and the theoretical and empirical work on the household division of labor by gender, this qualitative analysis of 34 Northern California families suggests that equi…
Assessing the Role of Family Planning in Reducing Maternal Mortality

This paper assesses the impact of family planning in averting maternal deaths, and discusses the overall ability of risk strategies to address the bulk of maternal mortality. The practical difficulties of providing effective…
