“…This book demonstrates that whether the concern is with child welfare, family disintegration, educational failure, crime or the many other social problems that confront people today, no demographic current is more dangerous to social well-being than fatherlessness. The statistics on absent fathers: more than one-third of America's children live in fatherless homes; more than half of non-residential fathers do not fulfill their child support obligations; nearly half of all children living apart from their fathers have not seen them in the previous year; more than one in four children is born to an unmarried woman, and in three-out-of-four of these cases, the father is never legally identified; nearly 30,000 children a year are the product of donated sperm. …”

“…Current art world statistics demonstrate that the fight for gender and race equality in the art world is far from over: only sixteen percent of this year's Venice Biennale artists were female; only fourteen percent of the work displayed at MoMA in 2016 was by nonwhite artists; only a third of artists represented by U.S. galleries are female, but over two-thirds of students enrolled in art and art-history programs are young women.0Arranged in thematic sections focusing on feminism, race, and sexuality, Curatorial Activism examines and illustrates pioneering examples of exhibitions that have broken down boundaries and demonstrated that new approaches are possible, from Linda Nochlin's 'Women Artists' at LACMA in the mid-1970s to Jean-Hubert Martin's 'Carambolages' in 2016 at the Grand Palais in Paris. …”
