The Bitch in the House (ed. Cathi Hanauer)

The Bitch in the House is an anthology of essays about marriage, housework, raising kids and family, from many different perspectives. As always with these sorts of compilations, I really enjoyed some of the essays, but others fell rather flat. The piece written by the woman with the open marriage was really fascinating, as were several others about women negotiating within their marriages and relationships. I wouldn't buy it, because it's not something I'd re-read, but it was very enjoyable collection.
