Combining historical and legal scholarship, this is an analysis of
the history of child custody in the USA from colonial times to the
present day. It draws on history to illuminate contemporary issues,
offering a rich perspective on the historical relationship of
children to their parents. The author draws on three periods of
pivotal change in social attitudes and the law, connecting these
transformations to the changing status of women and the increasing
power of mothers. He describes how the present move away from
maternal preference toward equal custodial rights has been promoted
by feminists' struggle for equal political rights and a new theory
of equal parenting adopted by social scientists. Includes a new
preface by the author.
