About the book
Historian Stephanie Coontz deconstructs myths about marriage, tracing its evolution from ancient civilizations to the present. With erudition and accessibility, she demonstrates how matrimony was shaped by economic, social, and political factors, far more than by romantic ideals.
A revealing work that examines how marriage functioned in different eras and cultures, dismantling the notion of a "golden past" and offering essential historical perspective for understanding contemporary transformations in human relationships and the institution of the family.
