To Love, Honor, and Manipulate? | Womens Quarterly | Find Articles at BNET.com: Jun 8, 2:50pm 1 review love, marriage, honor, manipulate
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0IUK/is_2001_Spring/ai_75453030/pg_1; The Surrendered Wife has lots of knickers in a twist. Author Laura Doyle is a self-described "former shrew." Charlotte Allen isn't sure about that former.

I WANTED TO LIKE The Surrendered Wife, Laura Doyle's best-selling (and, in some quarters, highly controversial) self-help book. In the 285 pages tucked between pastel pink covers--the front one illustrated with the single long-stemmed red rose that is the mass-paperback symbol of chivalric male attention--Doyle promises that wives can obtain "romance, harmony, and the intimacy they crave" from their marriages if they quit nagging and let their husbands run the show.

Famously, that's not what the federal government did. Instead, it upended many of the most sweeping federal and state worker protection laws, in some cases by fiat. The administration fully suspended the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, which requires almost all federally funded public works projects -- whether administered by government entities or private firms -- to pay its workers the prevailing wage. (If the DOL disagreed with this suspension, it didn't voice its dissent publicly.) The DOL chose not to enforce Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) protections.
