From the publisher
Marriage is a commitment
that involves our bodies, our minds, our money, our families, and our friends.
It is tied in inextricable ways to who we think we are and how we relate to
others. It has also been one of the most controversial subjects in feminist
debate. Taking that history into account, A Feminist Guide to Marriage confronts
something that many feminists still do not want to admit, which is that marriage
must be considered and analyzed for social justice to succeed. Many well-meaning people decide to marry, and
the future of all our intimate relationships-whether we marry or not-depends on
appraising this thorny, contradictory institution more accurately.
Written by a scholar of
popular culture who has been teaching for 25 years and married to a man for 15,
A Feminist Guide to Marriage shares stories from real people (including
the author) about everything from dating to divorce. In it, you will learn how
to live your desires ethically, what a just marriage looks like, what you
should ask of yourselves, and what you should ask of your partner(s.) With
chapters on sex, money, children, and monogamy, among others, this book will
help you to use feminist ideals to live, think, act, and love.
