Book Synopsis
For centuries, people have been thinking and writing - and fiercely debating - about the meaning of marriage. This book offers a fresh account of marriage as it appeared in fiction, journalism, legal decisions, scholarly work, and private correspondence at the start of the twentieth century.

Trade Review
"In this fascinating and timely study, Clare Virginia Eby shines in her ability to bring us closer to the emotional and cultural aspects of the Progressive era, and her argument for marriage as a laboratory is extremely compelling. Until Choice Do Us Part will make a terrific addition to seminars on women and gender history, family history, and the history of sexuality-not to mention a number of other disciplines." (Jennifer Fronc, author of New York Undercover)"
