WHAT DOES "WIFE" MEAN TODAY? It's a fascinating question that's been receiving huge media and reader attention, fuelled by Anne Kingston's provocative book.
Traversing the complex landscape of contemporary wifehood, Kingston combines broad-ranging research with her own insights and wit, providing a fresh perspective on being a married woman. From the elevation of the bride to a powerful consumer icon, through the recent romanticization of domesticity, and into the conflicted territory of wifely sexuality, The Meaning of Wife is constantly engaging and often surprising.
A book that's tailor-made for book clubs—even the cover provokes discussion—as well as lively chats over a glass of wine, The Meaning of Wife is changing the way we think about women, men and marriage.
