Dorothy Dinnerstein Dorothy Dinnerstein (April 4, 1923 – December 17, 1992) was an American academic and activist, best known for her book "The Mermaid and the Minotaur" (1976) (also published in the UK as "The Rocking of the Cradle and the Ruling of the World"). Drawing from elements of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, particularly as developed by Melanie Klein, Dinnerstein argued that sexism and aggression are both inevitable consequences of child rearing being left exclusively to women. As a solution, Dinnerstein proposed that men and women equally share infant and child care responsibilities. Her theories were not widely revered at the time they were published. Dorothy Dinnerstein was also a feminist, expressing her position by stating that “it's easier for women than for men to see what's wrong with the world that men have run".
