Is There Love After Liberation?: The Problem of Romantic Love and the World of Ms. in the 1970s
Farnsworth Guest Lecturer Dr. Robin Payne will be presenting her talk on March 4th 4:00 pm in the Mountain View Room. During the 1970s, popular feminist magazine Ms. drew attention to two serious questions that had underscored feminist responses to romantic love since the 1960s: Would romantic love continue to exist in an egalitarian society and, if so, what would it look like? In grappling with those questions, Ms. acted as a microcosm for the broader feminist debate over the problem of romantic love and the challenges they faced in finding a common ground between the realities of their love lives and the ideals of their politics.
