Quote: “... No woman should have to deny herself any opportunities because of her special responsibilities to her children. ... Families will be finally destroyed only when a revolutionary social and economic organization permits people’s needs for love and security to be met in ways that do not impose divisions of labor, or any external roles, at all.” — Functions of the Family, Linda Gordon, WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall, 1969
Linda Gordon later became a history professor at NYU
specializing, not surprisingly, in the history of the family, affording her the
opportunity to make a significant contribution to creating a tendentious
distorted, censored, version of the narrative of the history of the family, a
narrative created collectively by a large number of like-minded marxist
feminists filtered through ideological tunnel-vision theory of fundamentalist
“social constructionism” which is now
mistaken for the definitive and objective account of the topic.
