Reno & The Romance of Divorce reveals the untold story of how a band of State Legislators, a handful of lawyers and a few savvy ranch and hotel owners inadvertently helped shape our understanding of marriage, family, and our concept of female identity. From the turn of the century until the 1960s, Nevada provided a haven for those seeking to end a marriage.

Reality provided a stark contrast. Nevada’s divorce trade played a vital role in leveling the balance of power in marriages in the United States.
