Description
This incisive cultural history examines how the seemingly cheerful mantra “live, laugh, love” came to embody a powerful vision of happiness, femininity, faith, and family life. Drawing on her expertise in American evangelicalism, the author explores the cultural forces and religious ideals that shape contemporary women’s identities and expectations. With her characteristic blend of historical research and sharp cultural analysis, the book reveals how everyday language and lifestyle imagery can reflect—and reinforce—larger struggles over power, politics, and belonging.
