Sociologist Jessie Bernard joined the feminist movement in 1970 at the age of 67. Over the next two decades, her eclectic, mainstream feminist writings ( The Future of Marriage , etc.) got a mixed reception. Of greater interest than her scholarship is the personal story of her conversion to feminism, and in this searching, richly satisfying biography Swarthmore history professor Bannister charts the unlikely trajectory of a remarkable woman. Minneapolisborn Jessie Ravitch married her sociology professor, Luther Lee Bernard, who was twice her age, then went on to teach at Penn State and Princeton. Denying her Jewish heritage, she accommodated her controlling husband, portrayed here as an antiSemitic bully who had an endless string of affairs. Through motherhoodand single parenthood, after Luther's death in 1951she embarked on a rediscovery of her emotional, feminine self. Later she embraced her Jewish roots. Though she has not spoken out in support of the Equal Rights Amendment, her feminist concerns discussed herethe role of gender in shaping the agenda of the social sciences, the feminine mystique,'' inequalities in marriageare certainly pertinent.
