The topic of how dating and courtship has changed across the decades and centuries is an extremely interesting one. Unfortunately Weigel bungles her chance at telling this story, opting instead to focus much more on woke traps like why mainstream feminism (especially first- and second-wave) wasn’t inclusive enough or how the dominant dating approach (during any period, really) is anti-women.
Not serious enough to be a good text about feminism; not curious enough to be a good treatment of “the invention of dating.” Not recommended.
