Description

`The basic premise of this provocative book is a startling one - that sex ratios among people on the marriage market have profound consequences for a wide variety of attitudes, values, and behaviors, from sexual mores and behavior to shifts in economic power...the authors share with the reader a wealth of fascinating data and information...a book which is...fascinating, scholarly, provocative and exceedingly well-written.′ -- Canadian Journal of Sociology, Vol 10 No 2 `Written by social scientists with training and considerable publication in social psychology, this book is a unique contribution to the literature on women, sex roles, and the history of relations between men and women. No similar book is available to the academic community.′ -- Sociology, September//October 1983 `Here is a highly original contribution to the ′feminist debate′ which should be of interest to demographers, whether male or female. A review can only give an indication of the many stimulating, well-documented ideas and arguments advanced.′ -- Biology and Society, Vol 1 No 2, June 1984 `Too Many Women? is useful for courses on the family and social change but is a necessary reference for those interested in social changes in relationships. The argument is soundly convincing, the case artfully presented, and the book designed to generate considerable interest.′ -- Family Relations, Vol 34 No 1 `This volume is well written...Bibliography and references are more than adequate. Useful as suggested or supplementary reading in undergraduate courses in sociology of the family, gender roles, or family studies.′ -- Choice, December 1983 `...this is a book well worth reading. It is controversial, ambitious, consciousness-raising, and informative.′ -- Contemporary Psychology, Vol 29 No 5, 1984 `this book should be read for the originality of its authors′ ideas and the promise of their hypotheses.′ -- Signs, Summer 1987
