There´s a Special Place... by Liza Marklund

What shapes a man and a woman into being what they are? What about expectations during childhood and later on in life?! Possibilities and promotions at work?! Etc.

This is an interesting and eye-opening book on how different men and women are being treated in life, at home and at work.

The book contains quite a few personal reflections on the authors' own experiences in the area. I have to admit that some of the short reflections made me smile, even though it wasn't a happy smile - I guess it's because Liza and Lotta manages to, in a very precise wording, pinpoint a problem that you have experienced or witnessed yourself. It's actually quite sad.

Title: There´s a Special Place in Hell For Women Who Don´t Help Each Other (Swe: Det finns en särskild plats i helvetet för kvinnor som inte hjälper varandra).
Author: Liza Marklund, Lotta Snickare.

:-) Det var inte direkt den boken jag trodde att jag skulle hitta dig med... en överraskningarnas man :-D hehe. Andra lästips är: Sara Arrhenius "En riktig kvinna", Susan Fauludis "Ställd" (om sveket mot mannen), och kanske "Om könens uppkomst" av Thomas Laqueur men den är av den lite tyngre sorten och inte direkt skönlitterär. Sen finns ju alltid "Under rosa täcket" av Nina Björk (om du är intresserad av feministiska strategier mm) :-D
