Author Description

Inequalities in Marriage is a readable and distubing account of partnerships in the 1990's. Marriages are shown to be power relationships still, in which men usually have their way. The often repeated claim made in the popular media that the ranks of "new age guys" are rapidly expanding is shown to be exaggerated, even fallacious. Men do less than their share of work at home, probably spend more money on themselves and have mroe time to pursue their own interests. Many insights are provided into the reasons for most men resisting sharing the work at home. Illuminated also are some of the reasons many women have for holding to traditional domestic arrangements and being ambivalent about pushing for change.
