Fatherhood Today: Men's Changing Role in the Family

by Phyllis Bronstein (Editor)

From the Foreword of Fatherhood Today "This is more than a volume about fathers. It is a book about how social science and culture interact, mutually influencing the social roles in modern society It is not clear whether the rediscovery of fathers in the 1970’s by social scientists encouraged us to notice fathers’ active participation in families or whether the cultural shifts in women’s work roles and alterations in men’s awareness of their emotional and expressive capacities led to an awakening of interest among social researchers. In either case, this volume is a marvelous testimony of the clear interdependence of science and society." —From the Foreword by Ross D. Parke
