The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke (With Surprising Solutions That Will Change Our Children’s Futures), by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi (Basic, 272 pp., $26)

This book is a fine example of post-feminist angst. On one hand, the authors remain firmly bound to “the best part of the feminist movement—the rock-solid belief that women who want to work should have every opportunity to do so.” On the other hand, they document how this feminist economic project has produced widespread disaster for American families, children … and women as well.
