Bibliography
《美国社会与文化》文章节选:
The city had many faces.Slums,criminals,beggars,and grafters displayed one side of urban life.Beautiful parks broad avenues lined with smart stores and find mansions,great churches,theaters,museums,and libraries showed another.The best hospitals and the best schools were to be found in the cities,as were also the intellectual nerve centers of the country the offices of the leading magazines,newspapers,and book publishers.It was part of the centralization of American life that the mores ophisticated manners and morals of the city should exert a steadily widening influence over the country as a whole.The city was the home of the rich no less than of the poor。but the rich were enjoying their golden hour in the city as the poor could not.For women,however,the city gave them new opportunities for indepen dencethat were nerve dreamed of.The narrow alternatives of earlier davs school-teaching,domestic service,factory work now broadened to offer employment to women doctors,lawyers,typists,telephone operators,librarians,journalists,and social workers.Particularly interesting were the opportunities in nursing.Excerpt in a few Catholic hospitals,femalenurses before the Civil War were an untrained and little-respected group.But by 1883,with the radical alteration of public attitudes,there were twenty-two training schools in the country.Urban conditions,the growing independence of women,and many other economic and social factors exerted their influence on American family life.Between 1860 and 1910,the birth rate declined from about 41per thousand to about 27.Smaller families were particularly characteristic of the urban professional and business classes,who found it increasinglyexpensive to give children the educational and other advantages that were considered necessary.Even more alarming to many moralists was the steady increase in divorce.In 1867,fewer than 10,000 divorces were granted in the whole country 0.3 divorce per thousand of population.In1914,there were over 100,000 divorces and the rate had risen to 1.0 perthousand inhabitants.
