Reviews

""Communities of Care updates and extends sociological work on parenting and the gendered division of labor in families. Unlike previous authors in this field, Price-Glynn focuses greater attention on a comparison of mothers’ and fathers’ attempts to actively manage their identities as parents by forming bonds with others who are similarly situated."" -- Markella B. Rutherford * author of Adult Supervision Required: Freedom and Boundaries in Popular Parenting Advice *
