A revolution is under way. Within a generation, more households will be supported by
women than by men. In The Richer Sex, Liza Mundy takes us to
the exciting frontier of this new economic order: she shows
us why this flip is inevitable, what painful adjustments
will have to be made along the way, and how both men and
women will feel surprisingly liberated in the end. The bestselling author and Washington Post writer goes deep
inside the lives of the couples on this cutting edge to
paint of picture of how dating, marriage, and home life are
changing. How does this new generation of breadwomen
navigate paying for a night on the town? In whose interest
is it to delay commitment? Are men for the first time
thinking of marriage the way women used to—as a bet on the
economic potential of a spouse? In this new world of men
marrying up, are women learning to value new realms of male
endeavor—like parenting, protection, and a margarita at the
ready? The future is here, with couples today debating who must
assume the responsibility of primary earner and who gets the
freedom of being the slow track partner. With more men
choosing to stay home, Mundy shows how that lifestyle has
achieved a higher status and all the ways males have found
to recover their masculinity. And the revolution is global:
Mundy takes us from Japan to Denmark to show how both sexes
are adapting as the marriage market has turned into a giant
free-for-all, with men and women at different stages of this
transformation finding partners in other countries who match
their expectations. The Richer Sex is a wild ride into the future, grounded in
Mundy’s peerless journalism, and bound to cause women and
men of all generations to rethink what this social upheaval
will mean.
