- W327521919 abstract "Black Working Wives: Pioneers of the American Family Revolution. Bart Landry. Berkeley: University of California Press. 2000. 287 pp. ISBN 0-520-21826-4. $24.95 (cloth). The idea that marriage should be an egalitarian union is a pervasive and rising social ideal. Journalists, scholars, and laypersons often refer to second wave feminism as the major social movement ushering out traditional marriage and giving rise to ideals of gender equality. Second wave feminism was not the exclusive, nor the most significant, social force challenging the normative nuclear family in the twentieth century. Rising investments in egalitarian marriage and gender equality are the result of a long historical process, the roots of which can be found in various racial and ethnic communities and family and kin structures. Bart Landry illustrates how black married middle-class women developed, through the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, an influential and long lasting ideology of womanhood that upheld a three-fold commitment to family, community, and career. Landry presents a convincing argument by paying careful attention to how differences in black family marriage and work patterns and ideals were influenced by economic conditions, dominant ideologies of gender and family and a racialized social structure. He challenges historical renditions of the Black family as simply guided by lack of access to White institutions and ideology, casting Black women's work and family practices as choices rather than impositions of a dominant and often oppressive White society. Drawing from historical studies and primary source data, Landry confronts assumptions and stereotypes of the Black family as fractured, weak, and matriarchal by illustrating the prevalence of the nuclear family in the Black community from slavery to recent times. His accessible language, concise and provocative history of the relationship between Black family and normative family ideology, and his clear demonstration of the significance of viewing Black women's experiences as central to the development of marriage, family, and kin in contemporary society makes his work an ideal text for use in university family courses. Most important, he debunks the notion that Black women desired to emulate White middle-- class notions of true womanhood and the cult of domesticity. Using primary and secondary source data, Landry shows how Black middle-class women centered their attention on family and community service. Through their participation in the Black women's club movement and community self-help projects, an attention to the importance of education, and their activism in the suffrage movement, Black women created a public image and standards of community service that incorporated both race and gender concerns. …" @default.
