The End of Men by Hanna Rosin

The End of Men by Hanna Rosin

Essential reading for our times, as women are pulling together to demand their rights-- A landmark portrait of women, men, and power in a transformed world.

Anchored by data and aromatized by anecdotes, Rosin] concludes that women are gaining the upper hand. -The Washington Post

Men have been the dominant sex since, well, the dawn of mankind. But Hanna Rosin was the first to notice that this long-held truth is, astonishingly, no longer true. Today, by almost every measure, women are no longer gaining on men: They have pulled decisively ahead. And the end of men--the title of Rosin's Atlantic cover story on the subject--has entered the lexicon as dramatically as Betty Friedan's feminine mystique, Simone de Beauvoir's second sex, Susan Faludi's backlash, and Naomi Wolf's beauty myth once did.

In this landmark book, Rosin reveals how our current state of affairs is radically shifting the power dynamics between men and women at every level of society, with profound implications for marriage, sex, children, work, and more. With wide-ranging curiosity and insight unhampered by assumptions or ideology, Rosin shows how the radically different ways men and women today earn, learn, spend, couple up--even kill--has turned the big picture upside down. And in The End of Men she helps us see how, regardless of gender, we can adapt to the new reality and channel it for a better future.

The Washington Post's HANNA ROSIN has covered religion and politics. She's also contributed to the New Yorker, the New Republic, GQ, and the New York Times, among other publications. She and her husband, Slate editor David Plotz, live in Washington, D.C., with their two children.
