“…The revolutionary feminists envisage a variety of life styles for women (see, e.g., Bart; Balogun; Densmore; Dixon; Greer), men and children, as well as new forms of the family (e.g., Babox and Belkin;Cudlipp;Densmore;Mandle;Robin Morgan;Sochen, 1971;Stambler;Tanner;Ware; for a 19th-century revolutionary see Gilman; also see Giele, 1972;Sochen, 1972). Perhaps the most radical and future-oriented contemporary work is Shulamith Firestone's The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution (1970) which calls for a "cybernetic socialism" in a century or so.…”

This essay introduces the reader to the contemporary literature on gender roles and feminine behavior, including the major concepts, empirical findings, and social thought which have implications for political behavior and research. Gender roles as they relate to the psychology and activity of men and women, and their systemic cultural, economic, and legal ramifications provide an explanation and a basis for understanding political behavior, including recurrent women's protest movements. Contemporary writing contributes to building a non-androcentric and accurate body of knowledge regarding political woman, and it calls into question the ideology of the biological determinism of political activity. The literature surveyed has potential usefulness for public policy: an expansion of democracy is viable with the discernment and removal of barriers which hinder substantial proportions of women from achieving political leadership and hence participating in authoritative decision making and value allocation. A bibliography of major references is appended.

Noting that marriage counselors focus on the male-female relationship and that changes affecting women also affect men, the author examines changes in womens' roles in American society and draws implications for marriage counselors. Editor.Marriage counseling focuses primarily upon the male-female relationship within the marital dyad. Many counselors have stressed that this relationship, in and of itself, is "the" client. The marital dyad in this conceptualization may be viewed primarily as a system in which inputs that affect one part of the system automatically produce changes in other parts of the system. Inputs into the marital dyad system come from a wide variety of sources. Here we shall primarily concern ourselves with two major sources of inputs; first, those coming from the broader society that the couple exists within and, second, from marriage counselors. A historical overview of American womens' place in society will be sketched, followed by a review of their contemporary status. Although dramatic changes have taken place in very recent decades, it is helpful to examine the changing roles of women from colonial times forward. Womens' place in the social and helping professions will be examined and the conclusion will focus on the implications that changing roles for women have for contemporary marriage counselors. For brevity, the paper will concentrate on changes for women, but it will be kept in mind that a basic law in nature is that for every action there is a reaction. Hence, any change for women-in society at large, in the professions, and in marital dyads-implies changes for men also. These implications must ultimately receive equal attention from marriage counselors.
