With perceptive, reported insights on the ways marriage and divorce are legislated, the rituals of twentieth-century courtship, and contemporary practices for calling it off, Korducki reveals that, for all women, choosing to end a relationship is a radical action with very limited cultural precedent.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kelli Marìa Korducki is a journalist and cultural critic.
