A Marriage Agreement and Other Essays: Four Decades of Feminist WritingCollected here for the first time, are fifteen of Alix's most controversial essays from the past four decades. Grouped under the headings Marriage, Sex, Writing, and Late Life, they range from the notorious "A Marriage Agreement" to "The War in the Back Seat," "Organs and Orgasms," "The Taint of Feminist Fiction," "Thoughts at Seventy," and more. The collection leads off with Shulman's controversial "A Marriage Agreement," proposing that partners share childcare and housework equally. It was so explosive in 1969 that it was reprinted as a Life Magazine cover story and attacked by Norman Mailer and Russell Baker, and again in a 2006 book by Caitlin Flanagan. This essay is followed by "A Marriage Disagreement," Shulman's own expose and reevaluation of her Marriage Agreement.
