--"Booklist"
"Ambitious . . . Separating "The Richer Sex" from earlier
manifestos and exposes about women . . . is Mundy's fresh reporting
and the reams of new social science research she summarizes to make
her case." --Rachel Shteir, "The New York Times Book Review"
"It is an exciting time to witness changing standards in family
life: women in charge, men raising babies, both longing for passion
and affection. In "The Richer Sex", Liza Mundy asks the poignant
questions of how and why these changes are occurring. She deftly
examines who wins, who loses, and who is left on the battlefields
of love, sex, and money." --Dr. Justin R. Garcia, author and
Research Fellow, The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender,
and Reproduction
"Liza Mundy has done something remarkable: she has taken all the
major social and economic threads of the past decade, and woven
them into a tapestry that explains, well . . . everything. About
love, and sex, and family, and work, and the past and the future,
and men and women and children. And she has not only written a book
that's important, but also one that's a great read." --Lisa Belkin,
author of "First, Do No Harm "and "Life's Work"
"Liza Mundy has written a visionary, optimistic, inspiring book
about the future of gender relations in America. She writes with
verve, rigor and a keen sense for the unexpected. This is the rare
book about the future that not only tells you where we're headed by
why we should want to arrive." --Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist and president of the New America Foundation
"This thought-provoking exploration of the way women's expanding
roles in the workplace is changing their lives at home is sure to
create a stir. . . . Readable and poignant, Mundy's latest is the
perfect starting-point for this timely conversation." --"Publishers
Weekly"
"Will the world change once women make up the majority of
breadwinners? It assuredly will, and Liza Mundy gives us a
fascinating advance report on the sweeping transformations--in
romance, economics, politics and family life--headed our way. They
will make all our lives better, and Mundy is the first to bring us
the good news." --Annie Murphy Paul, author of "Origins: How the
Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives"
