During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the
divorce rate in the United States rose by a staggering 2,000
percent. To understand this dramatic rise, Elaine Tyler May studied
over one thousand detailed divorce cases. She found that contrary
to common assumptions, divorce was not simply a by-product of
women's increasing economic and sexual independence, or a rebellion
against marriage. Rather, thwarted hopes for fulfillment in the
public sphere drove both men and women to wed at a greater rate and
to bring higher expectations to their marriages.
