The Unemployed Man and His Family The Effect

Noted sociologist and feminist Mirra Komarovsky interviewed 59 families between 1935-36 to study man's role as economic provider. The result is an unprecedented study of masculinity and depression and the effect of social institutions on the individual.

Mirra Komarovsky was professor emeritus of sociology at Barnard College and past president of the American Sociological Association Michael S. Kimmel is professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook
