The Richer Sex

How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners Is Transforming Sex, Love and Family

De: Liza Mundy

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

A revolution is under way. Within a generation, more households will be supported by women than by men. In The Richer Sex, Liza Mundy shows how this reality will transform the sexual, dating, marriage, and work habits of men and women worldwide.

This flip in the economic order is inevitable, and Mundy demonstrates why it will also be a good thing for individuals and families. Both sexes will be free for the first time to make purely romantic choices - ones that have nothing to do with marriage as an economic partnership.

The Richer Sex demonstrates that a growing number of men will be attracted to women because of their success. Women will behave more like men sexually, and men will yearn more for intimate connections with their partners. Couples will choose who in the partnership must assume the responsibility of primary earner, and who gets to have the freedom of being the slow-track partner. Kids of stay-at-home dads and female breadwinners will love the role reversal, and the global marriage market will become one enormous and wild merry-go-round as men and women try to match expectations.

The first in-depth examination of this cataclysmic social revolution, The Richer Sex is one of those rare nonfiction books that will cause men and women to rethink how they are living their lives and what the changes around them mean.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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 but why we should want to arrive." (Steve Coll, president and CEO, New America Foundation)

A very good contemporary book

Sometimes considered the book shallow but does a good job on role reversal which can be definitely seen in our college campuses and high school graduation rates.

Great book for the female breadwinner

I love this book. I was looking for something to help me understand my current relationship, and the relationships I have been witnessing around me. These relationships are different from traditional relationships I grew up with….more women are now financially leading many households. I needed help with understanding another paradigm, and I got it with this book. I’m so happy that it was written, and included many stories that helped to ground me in my new reality and not feel guilty about it. Thank you!!

Groundbreaking!!!

This is the greatest book you can read today for a better grasp of the times. It will make sense as to why so many people sense the divide among men and women in relationships. Please read this book. I beg of you. I'm a man and this book has changed my entire dating experience. I'm now dating up and not paying for women anymore. The times have changed and me and my lawyer wife couldn't be any happier.😍

Good History, In realistic

I don't believe this book has aged well. Most of society still wants traditional relationships
