About the Author:
Synopsis:
Marilyn Yalom is a former professor of French and a senior scholar at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University. She is the author of widely acclaimed books such as A History of the Breast, A History of the Wife, Birth of the Chess Queen, and, most recently, How the French Invented Love. She lives in Palo Alto, California, with her husband, psychiatrist and author Irvin D. Yalom.
From Eve to breadwinner, this title traces the history of the wife in Western society, charting the change in the status of women from mere chattels to equal partners in companionate marriage with control of their own property. Drawing on sources such as myth, letters, diaries and legal documents, it examines shifts in the marital relationship from the ancient world to the second half of the 20th century.
