Man and Wife in America: A History

Exploring 150 years of American marriage, Hartog shatters the myth of a golden age of stable marriage in the 19th century. He shows how our own conflicts and confusions about marital roles and identities are rooted in the history of marriage and the legal struggles that defined and transformed it.
