review 1: The first part of this book is filled with statistics that shocked me yet in another way didn't surprise me. It was very interesting seeing the facts about how many women are going to school, waiting to get married and having trouble finding a man who is of equal eduction and ambition. One thing I found funny is that the phrase 'opting-out' is used quite a bit and although she meant opting out of the workforce, I kept thinking she was talking about opting out of dating because I know many beautiful, successful women who are doing so now. The rest of the book is well organized and has a lot of real stories which started to feel repetitive only at the very end. One hit very close to home and was difficult to read. Apparently I am a part of a trend and just a piece of data in... more all of these statistics. Very well researched and well written and a must read for anyone living in this century.
review 2: I thought this book was very eye-opening, although one-sided. I think all in all, the author made some points that we already knew as an American society, roles are shifting with the changes in the economy, as they have been for the past 50 years. Women have been working and achieving more equal pay as the years have gone by and some men have had to step into the "typical" female role of staying home with the children.I think one point Mundy did make was the impact that the changing workforce is having on an international level. She had some interesting things to say about the Japanese, and really how their society has made drastic changes in order to promote match-making, and essentially the productivity of their country. Overall, I think this book was thought-provoking if nothing else. less
