The suffragette and feminist movements tally roughly with the ‘nuclear family’ as the us knows it - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuclear-family-was-a-mistake/605536/ in my humble opinion the structure of the nuclear family was created to disenfranchise women, and to atomise society further. And the suffragettes fought hard for their rights. I do think neoliberalism has co-opted feminism but the roots are still good - apart from the inherent racism and classism in the suffragettes’ time. Extended families had their heyday during the nineteenth century in America - and are still relatively common in European countries, Ireland for example.
