The Keys to Wedlock “American Marriage in Transition” was an article written by Andrew Cherlin about the evolution of marriage in the last 50 years. Cherlin believed the new ideas of division of labor, childbearing outside of marriage, cohabitation, and gay marriage were the results of long-term social and material tendencies that reformed the meaning of wedlock during the 20th century. He emphasized that marriage, which was once institutional, was no longer considered to be a necessity or even a part of the routine of life. Marriage had developed to become more of an option for personal growth rather than a necessary part of the life course. As an institution of the mid-20th century, marriage was comprised of the bread-winning husband and the house-making wife.

They were the odd one’s out and possessions of their husbands. If the story were to be set at present date, his depiction would have been seen as unfair and sexist, considering women are viewed very differently today.
She believes that feminists and feminism attacks marriage and women who believe in marriage and simply being a good mother and wife. An example O’Beirne uses to express these attacks is an excerpt from a book call “The Future of Marriage” by Jessie Bernard. In the excerpt Bernard says that marriage simply holds women back: “Being a housewife makes women sick.” “To be happy in a relationship which imposes so many impediments on her, as traditional marriage does, women must be slightly mentally ill.” O’Beirne says that the feminist movement did nothing but confuse gender roles and weaken the family structure that was established.

She was taught to be ashamed of who she was, how she looks, and where she came from. She wants her features to look like that of the white girls who are accepted in society.
