The stereotype of the gold digger has had a fascinating trajectory in twentiethcentury America, from tales of greedy flapperera chorus girls to tabloid coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and her octogenarian tycoon husband. The term entered American vernacular in the 1910s as women began to assert greater power over courtship, marriage, and finances, threatening mens control of legal and economic structures. Over the course of the century, the gold digger stereotype reappeared as women pressed for further control over love, sex, and money while laws failed to keep pace with such realignments. The gold digger can be seen in silent films, vaudeville jokes, hip hop lyrics, and reality television. Whether feared, admired, or desired, the figure of the gold digger appears almost everywhere gender, sexuality, class, and race collide.This fascinating interdisciplinary work reveals the assumptions and disputes around womens sexual agency in American life, shedding new light on the cultural and legal forces underpinning romantic, sexual, and marital relationships.

I really enjoyed 'Marriage, Money and the Law' — it dives deep into how gender roles have shaped societal views on marriage and finances. The examples from the Ziegfeld Follies to Anna Nicole Smith were captivating and made me think about contemporary issues. Highly recommend for anyone interested in gender studies!

Not What I Expected
I expected more of a historical overview, but this book felt scattered at times. The sections on Anna Nicole Smith were engaging, but I wanted more cohesion in the narrative. It was okay, but not my favorite read.

Great Insight but Lacks Depth
This book provides some interesting insights into the intersection of law and gender in America. However, I felt some sections could have explored the themes more thoroughly. Still, it's a solid read if you're into cultural critiques.

A Unique Take on American Culture
I found this book to be a thought-provoking exploration of marriage and money through a gender lens. The blend of cultural history with modern examples was refreshing and informative. Definitely a worthwhile addition to my collection!

Engaging but a Bit Lengthy
'Marriage, Money and the Law' is a fascinating exploration, but I felt it dragged on in some chapters. The balance of historical and modern case studies was well done, just wish it was a little tighter. Still a decent read for those interested in gender issues.
