"Satisfying food for thought on the ever-changing dynamics of men
and women as they interact and go about their individual lives"
(Kirkus Reviews) as cultural commentator Stephen Marche examines
contemporary male-female relations--with the help of his wife,
writer and editor Sarah Fulford. One morning in New York City,
Stephen Marche, then a new father and tenure-track professor, got
the call: his wife had been offered her dream job...in Canada.
Their decision to prioritize her career over his and move to
Toronto sheds new light on the gender roles in their marriage (and
in the world around them). As Marche provocatively argues, we are
no longer engaged in a war of the sexes, but rather stuck together
in a labyrinth of contradictions. And that these contradictions are
keeping women from power and confounding male identity. The Unmade
Bed is a deeply researched, deeply personal exploration into the
moments in everyday life where women and men meet. After all,
within offices and homes, on the street, online, and in bed, we
constantly ask ourselves: What are we expected to sacrifice? Is it
possible to be equal? As he attempts to answer these questions,
Marche explores the issues that define our modern conversations on
gender, from mansplaining and sexual morality to parenthood and
divisions of the domestic sphere. In the process, he discovers that
true power remains shockingly elusive for women while the idea of
masculinity struggles in a state of uncertainty. The only way out
of these mutual struggles is together. With footnote commentary
throughout the book from Marche's wife, The Unmade Bed is a
"compelling" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), uniquely balanced, and
honest approach to the revolution going on in our everyday lives--a
thought-provoking work of social science that is sure to be a
conversation starter.
