This is a cultural system that scholars, particularly those who study modern Islamic cultures, identify as a “neopatriarchy.” See Hisham Sharabi, Neopatriarchy: A Theory of Distorted Change in Arab Society (New York: Oxford University Press, 1988). 11. Gill Jagger and Caroline Wright, eds., Changing Family Values (New York: Routledge, 1999), 8; Gail Bederman, Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race, 1880–1917 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1995), xi. 12. Linda K. Kerber coined the phrase “republican motherhood” in her groundbreaking Women of the Republic: Intellect and Ideology in Revolutionary America (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1980). For an overview of the role of mothers in the developing ideology of the “separate spheres” of the industrial age, see Jeanne Boydston, Home and Work: Housework, Wages, and the Ideology of Labor in the Early Republic (New York: Oxford University Press, 1994). Linda Gordon analyzes the images of motherhood that characterized the development of the American welfare system in Pitied But Not Entitled: Single Mothers and the History of Welfare, 194 Notes to Page 8 1890–1935 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1998). Ruth Feldstein deconstructs the mid-century assumptions that “bad mothering” resulted in widespread social problems in Motherhood in Black and White: Race and Sex in American Liberalism, 1930–1965 (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2000). Elaine Tyler May critiques 1950s nostalgia in her analysis of family images and ideals during the Cold War in Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era (New York: Basic Books, 1988). More recently, media studies scholars Susan Douglas and Meredith Michaels studied the “new momism” of the 1980s and 1990s in The Mommy Myth: The Idealization of Motherhood and How It Has Undermined All Women (New York: Free Press, 2004). 13.
