Emily White

Emily White is the quintessential single girl and has enough dating horror stories to fill at least ten volumes of The Encyclopedia Britannica. Though she’s had her heart broken a few times, Emily refuses to become jaded and always chooses to see the good in men. As the eldest of four girls, she is a professional big sister and has nursed several of her girlfriends from heartbreak back to happiness. Emily knows what she’s talking about because

she has seen it all first hand, including too-awful-to-be-true first dates that entailed breaking and entering, her date crying and drinking beer from a paper bag, and a guy asking her to stop at a gas station and get him some quarters for hislaundry on her way to meet him.

Emily has a degree in political science from Loyola Marymount University, an

affinity for champagne, and an adorable cat named Franz,though she is definitely not a “cat lady”. Emily was inspired to write The Why Chromosome to foster communication between the sexes and to finally get the answers to all thoseoh-so-elusive questions about men for any woman who has ever been left to wonder why.
