Description

This landmark collection examines postwar transformations in family formation across Western Europe and the United States, offering the first systematic analysis of how cohabitation and motherhood outside marriage have reshaped society. As women pursue higher education, delay marriage, enter the workforce in greater numbers, and gain reproductive freedom through contraceptive advances, the dynamics of family life have fundamentally shifted. Sociologists and demographers from eight Western European countries and the United States contribute longitudinal data-driven essays that illuminate these profound social changes, providing evidence-based insights into contemporary family structures and women's evolving roles across cultures and generations.

Key Features

The New Role of Women uses longitudinal data from eight Western European countries and the United States to track postwar family formation patterns with empirical rigour.

This Routledge collection features contributions from leading sociologists and demographers who examine cohabitation, motherhood outside marriage, and women's changing social positions.

The book analyses how women's increased educational attainment, delayed marriage, workforce participation, and access to contraception have transformed modern family structures.

Essays in this collection provide comparative perspectives on family dynamics and women's roles across multiple Western societies, revealing both similarities and regional differences.
