Hanna Rosin
Essential reading for our times, as women are pulling together to demand their rightsâ€” A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world., ,â€œAnchored by data and aromatized by anecdotes, [Rosin] concludes that women are gaining the upper hand." â€“ ,The Washington Post , ,Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. Today, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And â€œthe end of menâ€â€”the title of Rosinâ€™s ,Atlantic, cover story on the subjectâ€”has entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedanâ€™s â€œfeminine mystique,â€ Simone de Beauvoirâ€™s â€œsecond sex,â€ Susan Faludiâ€™s â€œbacklash,â€ and Naomi Wolfâ€™s â€œbeauty mythâ€ once did. ,In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how our current state of affairs is radically shifting the power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex, children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology, Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple upâ€”even killâ€”has turned the big picture upside down. And in ,The End of Men, she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.
