Marriage is a choice, and increasingly women (and men) are opting out. Yet despite these changes, the cultural power of marriage has burgeoned. What was once an obligation has become an exclusive club into which heterosexual women with the right amount of self-discipline may win entry. The newly exalted professionalized wife is no longer reliant on her husband's status or money; instead she can wield her own power provided she can successfully manage the business of being a wife. Wife, Inc. tells a fiercely contemporary story revealing that today's wives do not labor in the home. Instead, the work of wifedom occurs in online dating sites, on reality television, in social media, and on the campaign trail. No longer the stuff of marriage vows, these realms are now controlled by brand management and marketability. To prosper, women must appear confident, empowered, and sexually savvy. Suzanne Leonard follows women as they date, prepare to wed, and toil as wives, using examples from popular culture in order to reveal marriage's newly professionalized role in the lives of American women. Being a wife is a business that takes a lot more than a vow to maintain Geschichte 2000-2018 gnd 2000-2099 fast Hochzeit (DE-588)4025292-9 gnd Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 gnd Rollenerwartung (DE-588)4263108-7 gnd Massenkultur (DE-588)4125858-7 gnd Marriage United States History 21st century Wives United States Marriage in popular culture Ehefrau (DE-588)4013634-6 gnd Marriage fast Marriage in popular culture fast Wives fast USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd United States fast History fast u LB 41610 idslu LR u MS 1930 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NL201905 idslu L1 Stoppsignal FRED 16.10.2018 nebis DS zbzmon201812f fran zbzswk201902g lomb idszbz Z2 250 IDS LU IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE LB 41610 2018 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 40426 IDSBB A125 A125 125F2 UBW_MS_1930 51 NELA1251810 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH Bg III 9566 NELA1001807 IDSLU 100 1- Leonard Suzanne (DE-588)138565910 Verfasser aut IDSLU 490 0- Critical cultural communication IDSBB 100 1- Leonard Suzanne (DE-588)138565910 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Critical cultural communication NEBIS 100 1- Leonard Suzanne (DE-588)138565910 Verfasser aut NEBIS 490 0- Critical cultural communication NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-1-4798-7450-7_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006790884/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU ILU50 ILU01 LUZHB https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006790884/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 551425369
