Description: Halving It All takes the discussion beyond shrill ideological arguments about working mothers and absent fathers. Deutsch shows how, with the best of intentions, people perpetuate inequalities and injustices on the home front, but also, and more important, how they can devise more equal arrangements - out of explicit principles, or simply out of fairness and love.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [251]-311) and index.
