TLDR
In this paper, a resource theory of family power is presented, and a family power model is tested and retested, and the theoretical and methodological issues in family power research are discussed.
Abstract
"family power" was initially sparked, in large part, by Blood and Wolfe's Husbands and Wives (1960) and their elaboration of a "resource theory of family power." Subsequent efforts by family scholars, and other social scientists, have involved testing and retesting this resource theory model, and derivative models, as well as elaborating the theoretical and methodological issues in family power research.

- 01 Oct 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework that views interpersonal power as interdependent with broader structures of gender and class inequalities is presented, which illuminates the ways that structures of inequality are expressed in ideological hegemonies, which enhance, legitimate, and mystify the interpersonal power of privileged men relative to lower-status men and women.
