Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism
by F. Carolyn Graglia
Published by Spence Publishing www.spencepublishing.com
Despite all the warnings, it's exquisitely tempting to judge F. Carolyn
Graglia's Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism by its
cover. It features Luciani's Head of a Woman -- the sad,
down-turned face representing the whole of what Graglia describes as the
"discontented woman."
Graglia's quoted phrase comes from Margaret Mead, who contends that to
impel women to turn from child-bearing to other pursuits, the culture
must educate women and instill in them a divine discontent. This book
recounts feminism's attempt to depress American women into new and
sometimes unnatural behaviors -- it's a wonderful, fully comprehensive
resource!
Graglia's most impactful symbol, Luciani's Head, causes one to
wonder -- is she sad for woman's fate? Sad for the mess feminism has
made on her behalf? Then again, perhaps she isn't as consumed with
sadness for herself, nor as fully self-absorbed, as most feminists
characterize her.
