The book, translated into at least seven languages, is widely used in women’s studies courses and is an influential text outside academia as well. On a level with Simone de Beauvoir’s \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, it has remained intensely relevant to a wide audience due to its pioneering message of equality. In this work, Dinnerstein challenges the ideology underlying the female monopoly of childcare and demonstrates the importance of men taking a similarly active role in parenting. A seminal feminist text, \u003ci\u003eThe Mermaid and the Minotaur\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly integrates feminist theory with Kleinian psychoanalytical theory.","brand":"Dorothy Dinnerstein","offers":[{"title":"Other Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2021-02-16","offer_id":44151083467007,"sku":"9781635420944","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_1b3b833c-4dce-4bbd-b0de-75e7abd16550.jpg?v=1603936620","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781635420944","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
