The term "wife" is fraught with conflicting connotations for many young women today. Although the word suggests companionship and commitment, it's weighted with the knowledge that marriage is a male-dominated institution in which women have been subservient for centuries. In this provocative collection of essays, writers in their twenties and thirties discuss how they're navigating the waters of sanctified long-term relationships. Juhu Thukral speaks of marrying to please her traditional Indian parents; Rachel Fudge wonders whether alternative ceremonies can lead to greater equality in marriage; Kate Epstein tries to balance motherhood with a career; Kristy Harcourt, a lesbian, discusses her ambivalence about marriage ceremonies; and Leslie Miller struggles with being identified as half of a couple. 2355762 9 6 2001 Young Wives' Tales: New Adventures in Love and Partnership total:54|5:13|4:21|3:16|2:4|1:0| 54 205 99 14 51416 1580050506 9781580050500 53 14 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170379232m/51416.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51416.Young_Wives_Tales_New_Adventures_in_Love_and_Partnership 3 0 false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 09:20:19 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 09:41:11 -0700 2009 once more...]]> 51416 1580050506 9781580050500 53 14 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170379232m/51416.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51416.Young_Wives_Tales_New_Adventures_in_Love_and_Partnership 4 0 false Mon Sep 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 21:22:42 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 01 14:50:23 -0800 2009
