Shining a white-hot spotlight on America’s famous, from Hollywood legends to Broadway stars to media moguls, Notorious is a captivating assortment of Maureen Dowd’s most compelling style features and profiles. Using her signature wit and incisive commentary as a scalpel, Dowd dissects influential cultural elites, including: Leading Hollywood women from Uma Thurman to Jane Fonda to Greta Gerwig Silver screen foxes such as Paul Newman, Idris Elba, and Ralph Fiennes Funny people like Tina Fey, Mel Brooks, and Larry David Fashionistas from Andre Leon Talley to Ann Roth to Tom Ford And media and tech titans like Elon Musk, Bob Iger, and Peter Thiel Notorious is the perfect antidote to our current political malaise and an intimate, gossipy romp through the culture of celebrity from a legend in American journalism.

Incendiary takes and takedowns from the most bizarre, disruptive and divisive Presidential race in modern history by the Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist. Trapped between two candidates with the highest recorded unfavorables, Americans are plunged into The Year of Voting Dangerously. In this perilous and shocking campaign season, The New York Times columnist traces the psychologies and pathologies in one of the nastiest and most significant battles of the sexes ever. Dowd has covered Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton since the ’90s. She was with the real estate mogul when he shyly approached his first Presidential rope line in 1999, and she won a Pulitzer Prize that same year for her penetrating columns on the Clinton impeachment follies. Like her bestsellers, Bushworld and Are Men Necessary?, The Year of Voting Dangerously features Dowd’s trademark cocktail of wry humor and acerbic analysis in dispatches from the political madhouse. If America is on the escalator to hell, then The Year of Voting Dangerously is the perfect guide for this surreal, insane ride. “[The] ultimate political satire, a human comedy of errors full of sound and fury, signifying everything.” —The Washington Post “Maureen Dowd bakes a cookie with razor blades for the trick-or-treating nominees in The Year of Voting Dangerously.” —Sloane Crosley, New York Times–bestselling author “Dowd was born to write about this race.” —The New York Times Book Review “Dowd brings her A-game to this work, using her trademark wit and cutting prose to highlight our particularly American descent into the political netherworld of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.” —AudioFile

For the first time in history, will it be better to be a woman than a man in the upcoming century? The twelfth semi-annual Munk Debate pits Hanna Rosin and Maureen Dowd against Caitlin Moran and Camille Paglia to debate one of the biggest socio-economic phenomena of our time — the relative decline of the power and status of men in the workplace, in the family, and society at large. Men have traditionally been the dominant sex. But now, for the first time, a host of indicators suggests that women not only are achieving equality with men, but are fast emerging as the more successful sex of the species. Whether in education, employment, personal health, or child rearing, statistics point to a rise in the status and power of women at home, in the workplace, and in traditional male bastions such as politics. But are men, and the age-old power structures associated with “maleness,” permanently in decline? In this edition of the Munk Debates — Canada’s premier debate series — renowned author and editor Hanna Rosin and Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist Maureen Dowd square off against New York Times–bestselling author Caitlin Moran and academic trailblazer Camille Paglia to debate the future of men. With women increasingly demonstrating their ability to “have it all” while men lag behind, the Munk Debate on gender tackles the essential socio-economic question: Are men obsolete?

这是一本被欧美文化界高度推崇的著作,作者对两性互动的敏锐观察、幽默且犀利的文笔,让当代两性之间所面临的各种现实与无奈展现无遗,让人在爆笑中难掩感慨。

Je ne comprends pas les hommes. Vraiment, ils forment un groupe des plus impénétrables. J''admets que je n''ai pas de réponses. Mais pendant des décennies, j''ai adoré poser les questions. Ce livre ne constitue pas une enquête systématique de quelque type que ce soit ni un petit volume pratique proposant de remarquables solutions aux problèmes des femmes. Je ne détiens aucune sagesse spéciale concernant la rédemption sur des sujets liés au sexe et à l''amour. Je ne propage ni théorie, ni slogan, ni politique. Je suis toujours aussi perplexe que toute autre femme. Ce livre présente simplement des notes rédigées avec minutie - au travail et à l''extérieur - par une observatrice fascinée par nos perplexités de genre. Et quel spectacle constitue la question de genre en Amérique !

Onderzoek naar de redenen waarom er in de postfeministische periode zo weinig veranderd blijkt in de verhouding tussen de seksen, aan de hand van een groot aantal voorbeelden uit de Amerikaanse politiek en media.

Outspoken, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Op-Ed columnist Maureen Dowd tackles the hot-button topic of gender politics in this “funny, biting, and incisive take on women''s place in American society today” (Library Journal). Are men afraid of smart, successful women? Why did feminism fizzle? Why are so many of today’s women freezing their faces and emotions in an orgy of plasticity? Is “having it all” just a cruel hoax? In this witty and wide-ranging book, Maureen Dowd looks at the state of the sexual union, raising bold questions and examining everything from economics and presidential politics to pop culture and the “why?” of the Y chromosome. In our ever-changing culture where locker room talk has become the talk of the town, Are Men Necessary? will intrigue Dowd''s devoted readers—and anyone trying to sort out the chaos that occurs when sexes collide.
