The explosive new feminist argument for how and why women are winning the battle of the sexes

Men have been the dominant sex since, well the dawn of mankind.

But this is no longer true. Women are no longer catching up with men. By almost every measure, they are out-performing them.

Women in Britain hold half the jobs

Women own over 40% of China's private businesses

75% of couples in fertility clinics are requesting girls, not boy

Women will outnumber men in the UK medical profession by 2017

In 1970, women in the US contributed to 2-6% of the family income. Now it is 42.2%

This is an astonishing time. In a job market that favours people skills and intelligence, women's adaptability and flexibility makes them better suited to the modern world.

In The End of Men, Hanna Rosin reveals how this has come to pass and explains its implications for marriage, sex, children, work, families and society.

Exposing old assumptions and drawing on examples from across the globe, Rosin shows us how we must all adapt to a radically new way of working and living.
