14. The Way We Never Were

I also highly recommend "The Way We Never Were". The author is Stephanie Coontz...great read. A lot of societal problems were just more hidden and some things were worse, such as domestic abuse, child abuse, etc. I am 52 and a Texan and when I was a kid, it was legal to beat...BEAT your children and your wife and so when it happened, it was not prosecuted and so was not added to the stats. Divorce rates and teen pregnancies started rising to alarming rates in the 50s. None of this is new. Humans have always....kinda sucked.
