Synopsis
'Being the maximum version of yourself is a political act in a world where women still continue to shrink themselves to build up - or appease - the men in front of them.'
Many young successful women want the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kind of love. Not the Prince William and Kate kind. But these women are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They are told they must push harder than men to achieve what they want in their careers, but when it comes to dating, they are told to take the back seat. They must be chased rather than do the chasing. Chasing turns men off. They are confused and frustrated, and now they are looking to make the first move because nothing else is working.
The First Move is an insightful body of social research and a critique of our culture of dating by a young journalist who is living it. Emily Brooks offers helpful advice for young women learning to love themselves so they can seek out and find the love that enriches them most.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'Sheryl Sandberg was right: the single most important career decision a woman makes is her choice of life partner. Brooks ignites that conversation for a new generation.' JAMILA RIZVI'Being the maximum version of yourself is a political act in a world where women continue to shrink themselves to build up or appease the men in front of them.'Today's young women are told we can be anything, so we search for a love to back us, not hold us back. We want the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kind of love, not Prince William and Kate. Yet, while we unapologetically own our careers and lives and Bumble accounts, we're still unsure whether men truly accept-let alone desire-the women we have become. We are told to lean in at work, but wait for him to call. To ask for the pay rise, but not his number. We are ambitious at work but confused in love.Women's dating behaviour does not yet reflect the gender-equal partnerships we desire and dating literature has remained so focused on helping us lock down a partner, it has ignored what independent women actually want from men: more. The First Move is an insightful body of social research and a critique of our dating culture, interwoven with a young woman's call to finding contemporary love. Writer Emily J. Brooks explores women's socialisation, real negotiation, and the unwavering benefits of equality in our romantic relationships. When women demand a love that backs us, it lifts up the rest of our lives-so it is time for us to step into our power. Seller Inventory # LU-9781911632689
