The family and its members

The author argues that the monogamous private family is a valuable inheritance but must adapt to modern social demands; she combines social theory and practical advice to help individuals make ethical choices in marriage and parenthood. Emphasizes democratic principles: personal development, individuality, and shared social responsibilities; advocates balancing personal freedom with communal duties, reconsidering customs and roles—especially recognizing differences among women—and proposes reforms and everyday practices to strengthen family life and its social function.
