The Hearts of Men: American Dreams and the Flight from Commitment
"Finally someone is offering a new, utterly plausible explanation...of loosening marriage bonds. According to Barbara Ehrenreich...it is men who started walking off, in search of freedom from their stifling role of breadwinner/success-machine. The shock--and exhilaration--of this book comes from the recognition that here is a woman who has dared to look beyond the everyday assumptions about love and commitment to examine which bonds between men and women can endure and which may last forever."--Vogue

Barbara Ehrenreich’s essay on “Backlash” from THE HEARTS OF MEN highlights, in her discussion of Phyllis Schlafly the porous line between the right-wing of the GOP and the “lunatic fringe” of American conservatism. https://t.co/qChSw2oA3o

Thank you, Barbara Ehrenreich, for all you thought, and all you wrote. You were best known for your work on economic inequality, but your earlier writings—particularly "The Hearts of Men" and "The Feminization of Sex"—were incredibly influential to me. Rest in peace.

Barbara Ehrenreich and her cultural criticism were an early model for me when I was a columnist in the early 2000s. NICKEL AND DIMED was essential, of course, but I also really admired her under-read book THE HEARTS OF MEN. https://t.co/TVUSWvF3Lx
Praise for this book
"An original work...that often stands on its head much of the analysis of the relations between the sexes that has become the accepted wisdom of recent years."--The New York Times
