About

It is easy to be overwhelmed by gender inequality: the wage gap, work life balance, women leaving the workforce to provide unpaid carework. With so many examples of inequality, what would gender equality even look like, and how do we get there? In Equal Partners, the definition of gender and gender roles is broad, as is the ideal reader: straight, gay, trans, and non-binary; non-parents, parents and grandparents; family, friends, and neighbors. The goal is to help all readers foster gender equality in their home and the wider community.

"Mangino’s sharp insights into contemporary gender dynamics persuasively argue that there remains much to be done to achieve equality between partners... The result is a vital manual for understanding how gender norms shape domestic life and how readers can change the script."
