DESCRIPTION

...OF FEMALE INDIVIDUALISM.

In the late 20th century the status of women underwent a revolutionary change. Yet while doors opened as never before, new opportunities came at a cost of the family.

In Women and the future of the Family, Elizabeth explores how the powerful drives for liberation and equality not only granted freedom to women but also undermined the essential character of the family as a social unit.

The author analyzes the legal, social and religious impact of this individualism. To counter it , whe calls for a return to an ethic of self - sacrifice and a recovery of a Christian understanding of sexual difference and human equality.
