Recensione

'This is a really exciting book, taking a bold stance about the nature of gender relations in Western society, and about the role gender relations played in a larger history. It's a big picture effort, by an imaginative scholar working from one of the key findings in comparative family history. It will cause debate, stimulate further reassessment - in general, do what an ambitious historical synthesis should do.' Peter Stearns, George Mason University

'... a brilliant if sometimes, at least in later chapters, contentious study ...'. BBC History Magazine

Descrizione del libro

Unlike most historical accounts of modern Western societies, which identify the change that truly matters as occurring in institutions beyond households, this one contends that the major changes identified with Western societies are owing to a unique marriage and household system that appeared in Western Europe during the Middle Ages.
