David Goodhart asks whether this transformation has been an unalloyed good. Increased opportunities for women, greater freedom and autonomy, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought considerable benefits. However, argues Goodhart, there have been losses as well as gains: liberal trends have produced negative consequences in family breakdown, children's mental health, and the undervaluing of care. Falling birthrates also present major demographic and social challenges.

In una società in cui si sono dissolte le strutture tradizionali della parentela e della famiglia, uomini e donne si trovano costretti a darsi individualmente le regole della loro vita: ciascuno è il giudice delle proprie trasgressioni, il prete che assolve i propri peccati e il terapeuta che indaga e cura le ferite del proprio passato. La lotta per conciliare famiglia e carriera, amore e matrimonio, e per una "nuova" genitorialità ha oggi sostituito la lotta "di classe".

Celebrities are photographed nursing in public, yet breastfeeding mothers are asked to cover up in malls and on airplanes. Breastfeeding is a private act, yet everyone has an opinion about it. How did feeding our babies get so complicated? Journalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers breaks breastfeeding out of the realm of "personal choice" and shows our broader connection to an industrialized food system that begins at birth, the fallout of feminist ideals, and the federal policies that are far from family friendly.

Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions. Adoptee and counselor Cameron Lee Small names the realities of the adoptee's journey, narrating his own and other adoptees' stories in all their complexity.

In Marina Benjamin’s new set of interlinked essays, she turns her astute eye to the tasks once termed ‘women’s work’. From cooking and cleaning to caring for an ageing relative, A Little Give depicts domestic life anew: as a site of paradox and conflict, but also of solace and profound meaning. Here, productivity sits alongside self-erasure, resentment with tenderness, and the animal self is never far away, perpetually threatening to break through.

Since 1973, Time Magazine's Chauvinist Pig of the Year George Gilder has been clear about the stakes for the family. Without fathers, our civilization sinks back into the Stone Age.

Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering.

In the late 1960s and 1970s, the lesbian feminist movement and the no-fault divorce revolution transformed the lives of wives who desired women. Women could now choose to divorce their husbands in order to lead openly lesbian or bisexual lives; increasingly, however, these women were confronted by hostile state discrimination, typically in legal battles over child custody. Well into the 1980s, many women remained ambivalent about divorce and resistant to labeling themselves as lesbian, therefore complicating a simple interpretation of their lives and relationship choices.

A blessed marriage between a man and a woman is a social institution that has been practiced for centuries across various cultures. It is a legal and emotional union between two individuals, typically based on love, commitment, and shared values.

Voice memos, care packages, hours-long phone conversations, treasured traditions that go back decades, glasses held aloft during wedding toasts, hands held at funerals, first cuddles with newborns, work lunches with work wives, taking it to the group chat – our friendships touch and enrich every part of our lives. But how often do we stop to consider them deeply?

In this fascinating and insightful book, feminist curator Rachael Lennon provides an intimate and intersectional examination of the history of marriage around the world.

Se in passato le donne erano soprattutto casalinghe, mamme e cuoche a tempo pieno, sempre indaffarate ma instancabili, oggi per loro prendersi cura della casa è una scelta, non più un dovere. Sono finalmente libere di fare i lavori più disparati, anche restando a lungo lontano da casa, e non sono più relegate soltanto al ruolo di mogli e madri affettuose, ma possono diventare campionesse olimpiche, ricercatrici, astronaute, manager o designer di successo.

Eigentlich hatte Didier Eribon sich vorgenommen, ab jetzt regelmäßig nach Fismes zu fahren. Doch seine Mutter stirbt wenige Wochen nach ihrem Umzug in ein Pflegeheim in dem kleinen Ort in der Champagne. Wie in Rückkehr nach Reims wird dieser Einschnitt zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Eribon rekonstruiert die von Knappheit und Zwängen bestimmte Biografie einer Frau, die an einen brutalen Ehemann gekettet blieb und sich sogar in ihren Träumen bescheiden musste. "Meine Mutter", hält er fest, "war ihr ganzes Leben lang unglücklich."

Si può essere madri di figlie e figli che si scelgono, e che a loro volta ci hanno scelte? Si può costruire una famiglia senza vincoli di sangue? La risposta è sì. La queerness familiare è ormai una realtà, e affrontarla una necessità politica, come lo è quella di un dialogo lucido e aperto sulla gestazione per altrə, un tema che mette in crisi la presunta radice dell'essere donne. Interrogarci, discutere intorno a questa radice significa sfidare il concetto di normalità e naturalità a cui siamo abituati.
