Female Domination: Questions about Elise's Book

Screen 5 of 14

On page forty-seven of your book you site an interesting question posed by Dr. Cappon, namely, "What does it mean when women are the main breadwinners and the main nurturers?" This doesn't apply to my wife and I, but I'm fascinated by the concept and the implications. I agree that women are slowly but surely taking over outside of the home. It amazes me to watch the transformation taking place. I see it in our firm. We hire college graduates every year. Most over the last several years are women. They interview better. They have better credentials. In recent years some of our entire recruiting classes were female. By the way, I don't do the hiring. You might think that our selections would be biased based on my nature. Many of these women are making more money than their husbands. Many are encouraging their husbands to stay at home after they have children. I'm convinced that if women banded together (a big if by the way!), in fifty years or so they could basically take control of the business and political worlds. My broad question though is will women be better off and thus will society be better off?
