Women and the Common Life by Christopher Lasch
Christopher Lasch has examined the role of women and the family in Western society throughout his life as a writer, thinker, and historian. The impact of politics and economics on women and the family, with a special emphasis on the lives of children, was a strong and enduring concern of his. Questioning a static vision of patriarchy, this book starts in ancient Greece and moves through England to America to explore the variety of shapes women's experience has taken and why. An introduction by Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn puts these writings on women and the family into the context of Christopher Lasch's oeuvre and lays out their connections to one another.
Christopher Lasch (1932–1994), professor of history at the University of Rochester, wrote, among many other works, The True and Only Heaven: Progress and Its Critics and the best-selling Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy. Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn is the author of Black Neighbors (winner of the Berkshire Prize), professor of history at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, and a frequent contributor to The New Republic.
