The Love Children by Marilyn French
The Love Children is valuable in its exploration and depiction of the many ways in which gender can still be a limitation, even within a supposedly more enlightened society.--Bust Magazine It is the late 1960s in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Grateful Dead is playing on the radio and teenagers are wearing long hair and blue jeans. Jess Leighton, the daughter of a temperamental painter and a proto-feminist Harvard professor, is struggling to make sense of her world amid racial tensions, Vietnam War protests, and anti-government rage. With more options than her mother's generation, but no role model for creating the life she desires, Jess experiments with sex and psychedelic drugs as she searches for happiness on her own terms. In the midst of joining and fleeing a commune, growing organic vegetables, and operating a sustainable restaurant, Jess grapples with the legacy of her mother's generationMarilyn French is a pioneering feminist thinker who has published various works of literary critique, history, memoir, and fiction. For millions of readers, her bestselling classic, The Women's Room, encapsulated the themes that sparked the women's movement. She just released the novel In the Name of Friendship as well as a four-volume women's history series titled From Eve to Dawn.
