First published 2012
Women now surpass men by nearly every metric, overturning millennia of male dominance. Hanna Rosin documents this historic reversal through data and real-world stories, showing how women have moved beyond catching up to pulling decisively ahead. The shift transforms power relations at every social level. Rosin examines how men and women now differ drastically in earning, learning, spending, forming relationships, and even committing violence. These changes reshape marriage, sexuality, parenting, and workplace dynamics. Without ideological assumptions, Rosin maps this new landscape where traditional gender roles no longer apply. She reveals what this transformation means for both sexes and how people can navigate successfully regardless of gender. The book offers practical insight into adapting to a world where women hold the advantage.
