From the author: In a recent paper in this journal, Emily Nett (1996) identified an important problem in sociology. The difficulty is that issues identified as family matters - topics involving intimate relations and personal, private life - are marginalized in the discipline, as they are in the larger society. Of course, the obvious source of this neglect is the low status of women and children, and of concerns central to the lives of women and children. The traditional definition of subfields in sociology also contributes to the marginalization of matters considered to be private. Unfortunately, Nett's argument compounds both of these problems. I take up the issues she has raised in the spirit of opening a discussion of matters that I think are important.
