Full description for Women and the Common Life
The best-selling author of The Culture of Narcissism and The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy looks at the role of women and the family and how it changed in Western society."Lasch's critical apparatus is stunning -- the fluency and generosity of his scholarship and the muscularity, plasticity, and originality of his thinking; his passionate belief in purposeful, ego-suspending activity as the vocation of every responsible citizen of the collective.... Another wide-ranging, erudite challenge to conventional academic wisdom by a masterly cultural historian". -- Kirkus Reviews
