The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much?

By: Bennetts, Leslie

Price: $11.96

Publisher: New York, NY, Hyperion Books: 2007

Seller ID: 004169

Condition: As New

The author puts to rest the common tale that if women don't "have to" work, it's best that they stay home. Women with kids and a challenging career enjoy a richly rewarding life as a result. When women gamble on dependency, most eventually end up on the wrong side of the odds - and miss out on intellectual, emotional, psychological, and even medical benefits of self-sufficiency. This is an eye-opening and persuasive argument for why women can - and should - embrace the joyously complex lives they deserve. Includes an index and reading group guide. ; 8vo - over 7Â¾ - 9Â¾" tall
