Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It was Susan Maushart s uberfeminist cousin Felicity who pointed out the sheer stupidity of writing a book about women and happiness. Happiness means different things to different women, Susan. Don t you get it? It s about women formulating their own definition of happiness. I get it, all right. What s not to get? Feminism has graciously set us free. What it has not done, unfortunately, is provide us with a map and compass. And that s the bitch. So what do you really want? More and better sex? Less sex? A stellar career? True love, a big fat wedding, children? All of the above, or just the five minutes of peace and quiet you can get by locking yourself in the bathroom once a fortnight?This crucial book is a guide for the perplexed of both genders. It looks at the evidence on women s wellbeing from the obvious (we prefer sex to commuting) to the salutary (sleep solves more of life s problems than money does) via the poignant (becoming a mother will bolster your sense of meaning in life but shred your enjoyment of it). Examines the barriers of happiness that feminism forgot, especially woman's extraordinary capacity to carry guilt and accept blame. With warmth, humour and unblinking honesty, What Women Want Next sweeps out the accumulated cobwebs of forty years of feminist rhetoric to discover the eternal secret of what makes women really happy for now. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781921145148
