Summary:
"Journalist Anne Dowsett Johnston combines research with her own personal story of recovery, delivering a groundbreaking examination of a little recognized epidemic: the precipitous rise in risky drinking among
women
and girls. With the feminist revolution,
women
have closed the gender gap in their professional and educational lives. They have also achieved equality with men in more troubling areas as well. In the U.S. alone, the rates of
alcohol
abuse among
women
have skyrocketed in the past decade. Battling for
women
's dollars and leisure time, corporations have developed marketing strategies and products targeted exclusively to
women
. Equally alarming is a recent CDC report showinga sharp rise in binge drinking, putting
women
and girls at further risk. As she brilliantly weaves in-depth research, interviews with leading researchers, and the moving story of her own struggle with
alcohol
abuse, Johnston illuminates this startling epidemic, dissecting the psychological, social, and industry factors that have contributed to its rise, and exploring its long-lasting impact on our society and individual lives"--Provided by publisher.
