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 “the end of men”—the title of Rosin’s Atlantic cover
story on the subject—has entered the lexicon as dramatically
as Betty Friedan’s “feminine mystique,” Simone de Beauvoir’s
“second sex,” Susan Faludi’s “backlash,” and Naomi Wolf’s
“beauty myth” 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 up—even kill—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.
