Description - Wifework: What Marriage Really Means for Women by Susan Maushart
Almost half of all marriages end in divorce. Three-quarters of these
divorces are initiated by women. Why? Wifework.
In an era of equal
opportunity, Susan Maushart reveals, wives still do the vast bulk of the
physical and emotional work in a marriage. From counselling to toilet
cleaning, strategic planning to quality control, it is wives who
shoulder the double burden of childcare and man-care.
Wifework examines
with devastating honesty how hard women will work to keep a marriage
running, and looks fearlessly at the cost for children when they decide
to stop.
This book is lucid, funny and provocative. Every woman will
recognise its compelling message-and every married man will have to.
