07 Apr / The Meaning of Wife: A Provocative Look at Women and Marriage in the Twenty-First Century by Anne Kingston [in AsianWeek]

Meaning of WifeWhile it isn’t strictly APA, I couldn’t resist this eye-opening romp through wifehood over the centuries – from wifelash (think Grace in Will & Grace being ultimately insulted when Will tells her to “stop being a wife”) to wifelust (openly or secretly longing to star as the perfect bride in the perfect wedding). Clearly, Canadian journalist Kingston had a doozy of a time researching and writing this book – you will, too, reading it. Check out that fabulously provocative cover!
