Description
In these essays, Baruch looks at male-authored texts as a source of information concerning male fantasies about love "that affect women's lives and their portion of public and private power." What emerges is a history of romantic love from the troubadours to the deadly defense of marriage in the popular film Fatal Attraction . If the feminists of the 1960s and 1970s rejected romantic love as part of the structure of oppression, both men and women are searching for it in the 1980s, says Baruch, partly from fear of AIDS but also because demographic and economic trends make the two-wage-earner family necessary. Her final chapter on the return of romantic love points out the ambiguous nature of society's acceptance of women as equals in her reading of the Joel Steinberg-Hedda Nussbaum case of 1988.
