Description
The experience of growing up in the U.S. is shaped by many forces. Relationships with parents and teachers are deeply personal and definitive.
Social and economic contexts are broader and harder to quantify. Key individuals in public life have also had a marked impact on American childhood.
These 18 new essays examine the influence of pivotal figures in the culture of 20th and 21st century childhood and child-rearing, from Benjamin Spock and Walt Disney to Ruth Handler, Barbie's inventor, and Ernest Thompson Seton, founder of the Boy Scouts of America.
