Title: Elitist & condescending book
Review: The only women who could benefit from reading this book are white, wealthy, pretty, and lucky. Crittenden assumes that all women would benefit from marrying young and forgoing careers to have babies in their twenties. It MIGHT work - if the woman is lucky enough to get a first-rate education and find a man who is wealthy enough to support her and moral enough not to divorce her. The rest of us (and that's about 95%) will just have to tough it out and invest in our careers. The reality is that most people who marry young wind up divorced, and that with no-fault divorce there is NO guarantee of life-long marriage anymore. Crittenden also condescendingly imagines that no woman in her 30's can possibly attract a decent men - her "shelf life" has expired. I thought Susan Faludi debunked that long ago in "Backlash". Crittenden's book is elitist claptrap that simply has no bearing on the lives of most American women
