An Unconventional Family

The second book by the author of "The Lenses of Gender" offers an autobiographical account of Sandra and Daryl Bern's nearly 30-year marriage--a personal history of the Berns' past as well as a social history of a key period in the feminist movement. How the Berns' experiences--both positive and negative--comment on the viability and necessity of nontraditional gender arrangements in society today makes for fascinating reading.
