The First Sex will change the way you see and understand men, women and the world around us. Helen Fisher, a celebrated US anthropologist and author of The Sex Contract and The Anatomy of Love, shows how women have evolved various talents which make them particularly suited to take charge in today's world. "Tomorrow belongs to women," writes Fisher. The nature of work is changing. There's no longer any such thing as a job for life, and traditional positions in traditional industries are giving way to "portfolio careers" in communications, media and education and health. Writing in an easy to read and understand style, Fisher draws on research and anecdotal evidence to show how women's evolutionary advantages, covering everything from the ability to "multi-task" to increased peripheral vision, puts them in the prime position to lead the way in the new workforce. But don't write her off as anti-men. She's not at all. In fact, this is a book for men every it as much as women, showing them the skills they'll need to develop to prosper in life and love as we move into the next century. "Women are better educated, more capable and more interesting than ever before," Fisher writes. "If there ever was a time in human evolution when both sexes had the opportunity to make satisfying careers and happy marriages, that time is now." Like The Anatomy of Love, which the New York Times Book Review described as "Delightful to read" and "fascinating", The First Sex offers a unique perspective on a subject that concerns each and every one of us. "The twenty-first century may be the first in the modern era to see both sexes work and live as equals--the way men and women are designed to live," writes Fisher.
