"Ehrenreich's book explores various versions of what has loosely come to be called the "men's liberation movement" and the public discourse on men's role as breadwinners and supporters in the Western family from the 1950s to the 1980s. It's a grim picture, as one of her underlying arguments seems to be that whether public discourse focuses on men being the responsible primary breadwinners or valorizes those men who break the mold and embrace "irresponsibility" (like the Beatniks, Hefner's vision of the playboy, or the hippies), as long as the sexist assumptions of the society remain in place they merely adjust and replicate the same basic structures. The last chapter gives some pragmatic courses of action--Ehrenreich is usually a pragmatist writer--but even in a slim volume it's a pretty depressing (if illuminating) read."
"Gender were all effected, don't we want to know how? This book looks at gender and its cause & effects. Good analysis of the relationship between the sexs."
"Reread part of this recently (Aug 2007) -- wow, what an excellent bit of cultural studies. Not just motivated by idle curiosity (gee, is Madonna subversive?) but dramatically relevant to just about everything in American political and intimate life. Nice going, Barb."
