Overview
Part crash course in feminism, part social guide, part memoir, and part manifesto,A Feminist Guide to Marriage does what it says on the cover. Drawing on personal experience and a wide range of feminist thinking, it will help you to understand and do marriage differently - and better.
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.
