Historian Stephanie Coontz is one of my favorite authors. The following piece on bostom.com nicely illustrates why I like her. Titled "The Romantic Life of Braniacs" it begins, "College-educated, highly successful women have long had a reputation for marrying less (and having lousier sex). But in a historic reversal of past trends, these women now triumph in matrimony."
