Description: Great Expectations : Marriage and Divorce in Post-Victorian America, Paperback by May, Elaine Tyler, ISBN 0226511707, ISBN-13 9780226511702, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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.
