Introduction: Feminists' vision forgotten -- Self -- Fatherhood -- Partners -- Housework -- Care work -- Childcare -- Maternity -- Flextime -- Conclusion: The myth of "having it all."

Kirsten Swinth reconstructs the comprehensive vision of feminism's second wave at a time when its principles are under renewed attack. In the struggle for equality at home and at work, it was not feminism that failed to deliver on the promise that women can have it all, but a society that balked at making the changes for which activists fought.--
