Each, in turn, sparked structural changes that were met by familial adaptations. In addition to jolting families in their own way, the Industrial Revolution, the Great War, and the Great Depression accelerated trends that moved families incrementally, along a jagged path, to a recognizably ‘modern’ form by the middle of the twentieth century.}, bookauthor = {CYNTHIA R.
