Breadwinners

Rebalancing the power dynamics in your life

A NEW SCIENTIST BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK OF 2025

Why do women who outearn their male partners still tend to do more housework and childcare? Why are unemployed men generally happier if their female partners are also unemployed? And why is unpaid labour still seen as a less important contribution than paid work within family units?

In Breadwinners, award-winning science journalist Melissa Hogenboom unpicks the power structures we all live within and gives readers the tools to address imbalances and improve our relationships, at home and at work.
