At Odds: Women and the Family in America from the Revolution to the Present (Galaxy Books) - Softcover
Synopsis
Pulitzer prizewinner Carl Degler has written the first general history of women in America for our generation. The book brings into historical perspective one climactic question: How is woman's right to equality of opportunity going to be reconciled with the demands of the family? The modern family, Degler writes, has been shaped by women's search for greater autonomy within the family. "At Odds" shows how that evolution took place, beginning in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

"The most important comprehensive study in the field of social history of American women and the family to be published."--American Historical Review
"A pleasure....I predict that it will take its place among that small body of history we call 'indispensable.'"--Peter Gay, Yale University
