From Front Porch to Back Seat (eBook, ePUB)

Courtship in Twentieth-Century America

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From gentleman callers to big men on campus, from Coke dates to "e;parking,"e; From Front Porch to Back Seat is the vivid history of dating in America. In chronicling a dramatic shift in patterns of courtship between the 1920s and the 1960s, Beth Bailey offers a provocative view of how we sought out mates-and of what accounted for our behavior. More than a quarter-century has passed since the dating system Bailey describes here lost its coherence and dominance. Yet the legacy of the system remains a strong part of our culture's attempt to define female and male roles alike.
