The End of Men: And the Rise of Women

Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But this is no longer true. Women are no longer catching up with men. By almost every measure, they are out-performing them. Women in Britain hold half the jobs Women own over 40% of China's private businesses In 1970, women in the US contributed to 2-6% of the family income. Now it is 42.2%. This is an astonishing time. In a job market that favours people skills and intelligence, women's adaptability and flexibility makes them better suited to the modern world. In The End of Men, Hanna Rosin reveals how this has come to pass and explains its implications for marriage, sex, children, work, families and society. Exposing old assumptions and drawing on examples from across the globe, Rosin shows us how we must all adapt to a radically new way of working and living. 'Rosin's reporting is not just deep and thorough and responsible, it rises to the level of art.' Financial Times
