Culture Notes USA Today describes David Blankenhorn as “a pioneer in the fatherhood movement”(1999). Norval Glenn of the University of Texas calls Blankenhorn’s 1995 book, Fatherless America, “one of the most important and provocative books of this decade.” Mary Ann Glendon of Harvard Law School states: “No one writes about the crisis in American family life with more candor(坦白), intelligence, and sympathetic understanding than David Blankenhorn .” The fathers in families with an employed mother earn about the same as fathers in families with a non-employed mother. A comparison of the 1997 median earnings of a father with a non-employed wife ($37,116) to the media earnings of a father with an employed wife ($35,713) shows that the typical father in both types of families have nearly identical earnings – a difference of just $1,403 per year.
