The New Single Woman
"In this watershed book, E. Kay Trimberger tackles one of the largest social phenomena of our times: the increasing number of single women over thirty-five. Drawing on the diverse personal stories of long-term single women, including herself, Trimberger explodes the idea that fulfillment comes only through finding a soul mate. Instead, she presents an exciting new identity possible for women in the twenty-first century: the new single woman. The new single woman rejects the cultural pressure to couple and unabashedly lives a fulfilling single life, one where she is not on her own, not defined primarily by self-reliance but by her skills at creating friendships and her ability to link networks of friends into a community. Trimberger's analysis opens up new alternatives for the "good life" and speaks to the anxieties of single women in their twenties and early thirties."--BOOK JACKET.
The Coercive Control of Children
"This book identifies coercive control of women as the most important cause and context of 'child abuse' and child homicide outside a war zone, including deliberate injury to children, non- accidental child death and the sexual abuse, denigration, exploitation, isolation and subordination of children. I critique the current approaches to domestic violence and child maltreatment, provide a working model of the coercive control of children and closely examine three recent forensic cases involving of children of coercive control. In most instances, the coercive control of women and children run in tandem. In these cases, children are abused to further entrap and exploit their mother, a form of 'secondary' victimization. But I also provide examples of cases in which abused mothers harm their children to survive or to protect them from worse (examples, of what I term "patriarchal mothering") and where children are 'weaponized' or are otherwise implicated in the coercive control of their mother. In all these instances, the child is the victim of coercive control"--
