Women's Fiction
A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world. 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. At this unprecedented moment, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And βthe end of menββthe title of Rosinβs Atlantic cover story on the subjectβhas entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedanβs βfeminine mystique,β Simone de Beauvoirβs βsecond sex,β Susan Faludiβs βbacklash,β and Naomi Wolfβs βbeauty mythβ once did. In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how this new 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 upβeven killβhas 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.
