This important new book creates new terms for thinking about gender
and generational relationships. In so doing it recasts conventional
understandings of the family as an institution for organizing
labour and consumption.
Delphy and Leonard present their wide-ranging theoretical discussion alongside a comparative study of the family in urban and rural areas. Theoretical innovation is consistently matched by empirical analysis of the family in diverse settings.
