This volume identifies the \"right to comfort\" as an invention of the postwar period and suggests that the modern mass home played a vital role in shaping new expectations for well-being and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNicole C.
