As a Schwartz Fellow at New America, Liza Mundy will write a book exploring the global rise in the number of women who are primary earners in their households, and the impact this is having on the marriage market, dynamics within marriage, bargaining power in relationships, child well-being, single parenthood, the economy, and workplaces. She is on leave from The Washington Post, where she is a staff writer. She also contributes to Slate’s Double XX blog and has written for Slate, the Guardian, Mother Jones, and elsewhere. Mundy has written two books, including a biography of First Lady Michelle Obama that was a New York Times bestseller, a Der Spiegel bestseller, and has been translated into 16 languages. Her forthcoming book, The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners Is Transforming Sex, Love and Family will be released in March 2012. She has an AB from Princeton University and an MA in English literature from the University of Virginia.
