Whoa just the introduction is deep. This book is kind of tiring to read due to the long sentences and multi-syllable vocabulary.

This line from the preface really spoke to me..."though most of my female students rhetorically reject the traditional feminine motive of economic security in marriage, they often worry they won't be seen as desirable if they project independence and self-interest."
