Publisher Description
A distinguished scholar presents a landmark historical perspective on parenthood in America. This trailblazing book suggests that behind the rhetoric of maternal responsibility are issues of power, resources, and control. "Berry's book could be a significant impetus for corporate executives and political leaders, conservatives and liberals, and mothers and fathers to support parental involvement that is gender-free."--The Washington Post Book World.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Berry's absorbing study of American child care argues that men must assume an equal share of child rearing if women are to pursue careers.
