...hostility to Marabel Morgan is the belief that she preaches a return to those days of unfairness and unequality. Marriage itself, runs the extreme form of this argument, is a centuries-old exploitative prison from which women are only now beginning to escape-with help from the Pill, legal abortion, equal rights laws and a chance for a fair share of the job market...
