Summary:
Within a generation, more households will be supported by women than by men. Journalist Liza Mundy takes us to the 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. Couples today are 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 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 who match their expectations.
