quotes by Stephanie Coontz

"Like most visions of a 'golden age', the 'traditional family' evaporates on closer examination. It is an ahistorical amalgam of structures, values, and behaviors that never coexisted in the same time and place."
— Stephanie Coontz (The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap)
