There Is No Fault

Haley Mlotek dismantles the myth that relationships end with slammed doors and dramatic ruptures. In *No Fault*, she traces how love dissolves through small subtractions: shortened sentences, avoided glances, postponed plans. Drawing on the 1970s feminist sit-in at *Ladies' Home Journal* that challenged the "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" column, Mlotek reframes divorce not as failure but as a political right historically denied to women. Economic chains, family patterns inherited across generations, and friendships that quietly fracture all shape who can actually leave.

You'll learn:

- Why divorce functions as class privilege, not just personal choice

- How inherited family patterns silently script your relationships

- What the feminist media intervention of the 1970s changed forever
