DESCRIPTION:Come hear renowned cultural historian Sophia Rosenfeld (Univers
 ity of Pennsylvania) discuss her new book.\n\nFrom the publisher: Taking r
 eaders from the seventeenth century to today\, Sophia Rosenfeld describes 
 how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous rise of shopping as 
 an activity and religious freedom as a matter of being able to pick one’
 s convictions. Similarly\, she traces the history of choice in romantic li
 fe\, politics\, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout\, she pays part
 icular attention to the lives of women\, those often with the fewest choic
 es\, who have frequently been the drivers of this change. She concludes wi
 th an exploration of how reproductive rights have become a symbolic flashp
 oint in our contemporary struggles over the association of liberty with ch
 oice. Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant me
 nus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and econo
 mics\, The Age of Choice urges us to rethink the meaning of choice and its
  promise and limitations in modern life. \n\nHosted by the French-Speaking
  Worlds: Then and Now Research Group sponsored by the Division of Literatu
 res\, Cultures\, and Languages Research Unit) and co-sponsored by the Depa
 rtment of History.
