"This new collection of essays by angry women is an event worth marking... Drawing parallels between The Bitch in the House and Betty Friedan's work is unavoidable." --Boston Globe |
The Bitch in the House
(2002, William Morrow)
Women today have more choices than at any time in history, yet many smart, ambitious, contemporary women are finding themselves angry, dissatisfied, stressed out. Why are they dissatisfied? And what do they really want? These questions form the premise of this New York Times bestselling collection of searingly honest original essays, in which twenty-six women writers invite readers into their lives, minds, and bedrooms to talk about the choices they've made, what's working in today's post-feminist world of women, work, marriage and motherhood ...and what's still not.
Ranging in age from 24-67, single and childless or married with children or four times divorced, The Bitch in the House, published in thirteen countries, is the sound of the collective voice of successful women today—in all their anger, grace, and glory.
