THE UNMADE BED

As the battle of the sexes rages on, Stephen Marche has found a compelling way to draw upon the latest research about gender relationships -- with interjections from his wife, writer Sarah Fulford -- exploring the complicated, changing relationship between men and women in today’s world. The fact is that men and women co-exist in every aspect of life – in the office, in homes, in families, on the street, online and in bed. So who has the power in each situation? What are we expected to sacrifice? Is it possible to be equal?
This is a fresh approach to the men/women conversation. Stephen’s wife, a successful writer herself, interjects the book with her thoughts and experiences and she’s not afraid to point out flaws in Marche's reasoning or contribute her own opinions. This all gives the book a well-balanced and honest approach that others lack.

The fact is that men and women co-exist in every aspect of life – in the office, in homes, in families, on the street, online and in bed. So who has the power in each situation? What are we expected to sacrifice? Is it possible to be equal? The conversation about the relationship between men and women -- both in our individual lives and as a society -- has never been louder. And sometimes confusing. Now, with a refreshing and honest voice, Stephen Marche delivers his vision for what true equality between men and women really means and what it could look like. As he does, he discovers not only commonalities, but contradictions, and that for the first time ever, women and men are truly coming to know each other. Marche has found a compelling way to draw upon the latest research about gender relationships while providing his own commentary and synthesis in a successful combination of academic/scientific research and personal experience that is highlighted by his wife’s annotations.

In the end, THE UNMADE BED is a groundbreaking, and fascinating exploration of men, women, and the way they interact with one another. Today and every day.
