Home Truths: Liberal Education for Mothers
Graglia, F. Carolyn
Academic Questions, v22 n1 p47-62 Mar 2009
This author is best known for her 1998 book "Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism," in which she defended a woman's right to choose the role of homemaker, despite feminists' depiction of this role as parasitic and inferior. In this article, Graglia revisits these themes, and explains why she feels that many of the attributes of the average woman make her well-suited to motherhood and less suited to a competitive, stressful workplace. She contends that women who favor that choice should not face hostile institutions that promote career over homemaking. (Contains 61 footnotes.)
