American women must still endure right-wing attempts to control their uteruses. Ah, politics these days. But a new book with a severe title — “The End of Men” — argues that, in fact, women are poised to dominate our historically patriarchal society. For one, author Hanna Rosin points to our vastly changing economic landscape. Case in point: three-quarters of the 7.5 million jobs lost in our current recession were once held by men. No one should celebrate this, of course. But with a host of statistics and anecdotal stories, Rosin lays out the radically shifting dynamics between the two sexes, explaining the implications for marriage, sex, work and more. This evening, Rosin will discuss her book at the Main Library. The event is free, but tickets are required. —Anne Marshall
