Jessie Bernard was one of the foremost early feminist sociologists and public intellectuals in women??'s studies. In "The Jessie Bernard Reader," Michael S.

Her books were landmarks in demarcating the effects of the ???separation of spheres.??? Among her most celebrated arguments was that couples experienced two different marriages, ???his??? and ???hers??????and that his was better than hers. This volume will inspire a new generation of scholars, a generation that inherits the gains for which Bernard struggled her entire career.
