- Description
- This book provides a view of changing lives and ideas about love, courtship, marriage, giving birth, parenting, childhood, and adolescence in France from the Vichy regime to the sexual revolution of 1960s. The research was based on guide books on marriage, childbirth and parenting, advice columns and popular magazines directed at readers from a variety of backgrounds. The author puts these sources into context, by exploring juvenile court family case studies. She links economic and social changes to the evolution of thinking about gender, the self, and the family.
