This book provides an account of fatherhood and changing parental
roles in Sweden and Poland. It uses a comparative perspective to
show what men understand a father's role to be, and how they seek
to live up to it. Fathering, the author argues, is a social
phenomenon grounded in cultural patterns of parenting, gender roles
and models of masculinity, and also shaped by family policy. Being
a father today, she demonstrates, is longer connected solely with
being the main breadwinner. Rather, it has become increasingly
common for fathers to take on duties traditionally regarded as the
domain of women. This means that men often face conflicting
expectations based on different models of fatherhood. The aim of
this thought-provoking book is to track these models, analysing
their origins and their consequences for gender order. It will
appeal to students and scholars of gender studies, the sociology of
families and social policy studies.
