Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:According to Glenda Riley, “the historical conflict between anti-divorce and pro-divorce factions has prevented the development of effective, beneficial divorce laws, procedures, and policies. Today we still lack processes that move spouses out of unworkable marriages in a constructive fashion and get them back into the mainstream of life in a stable, productive condition.” Her pioneering historical overview offers proposals for dealing with a subject that now pertains to nearly half of all marriages. Review:No one has so carefully researched this subject before or written so intelligently about it."-Chicago Tribune (Chicago Tribune)Review:"[A] thoroughgoing and thoroughly intelligent study . . . All those tempted to join the new crusade against divorce should be required to read Divorce: An American Tradition cover to cover and pencil in hand. They may be forced to conclude, along with many of our ancestors, that divorce is indeed a great evil and source of much suffering. But then so is the institution that generates it-marriage, especially marriage under conditions of gross inequality between the sexes."-New York Times Book Review (New York Times Book Review)Description:Includes bibliographical references (p. 191-200) and index.
