Anne Kingston looks at wife backlash, and the new wave of neo-traditionalism that urges women to marry young; explores the apotheosis of abused wives and the strange celebration of wives who kill; and muses on the fact that Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart, two of the world's wealthiest and most influential women, are both unmarried. The result is an entertaining mix of social, sexual, historical, and economic commentary that is bound to stir debate even as it reframes our view of both women and marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Kingston's\u003c\/b\u003e writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail, Saturday Night, Toronto Life, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Chicago Sun-Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
