The last chapter and epilogue show the radical shift that took place between the early chapters of the book and the end. During the first part of Chapter X I kept thinking of my Pop Culture class, and how we studied Ozzie&Harriet, The Cosbys, and Gilmore Girls as 3 case studies of the American family. It seems to me that the 1960s-80s saw the most marked jump. As M&K discussed, family life may have included more equality between husbands and wives, but this was also the era of Playboy and topless bars. Also, family law because its own industry of cases and lawyers, which set the stage for the Family Court/Divorce Court tv shows of today. It's really amazing to see how much the family transitioned over 200 years.--Amanda | The last chapter and epilogue show the radical shift that took place between the early chapters of the book and the end.

While the beginning seemed to focuses on the stereotypical family, like we remember from older TV shows. Yet toward the end they shifted to a more equal partner ship among husband and wife. | + | I too was really amazed with the change from the beginning to the end of Mintz & Kellogg.

I liked how M&K looked at the impact the changing family had on children in the 60s and 70s. As well as how divorce rates have led to new ways of raising children. -- Kellye Sorber |
