The forum takes place at 7:00 pm at the First Parish in Cambridge, 3 Church Street in Harvard Square. <br><br><b>Liza Mundy</b> predicts that within a generation, more households will be supported by women than by men. News reports have documented the statistical trends that support this new reality: for example, more women than men are attending and graduating from college; the number of single women under 30 who out-earn their male peers is increasing; and as of 2009, the Center for American Progress reports that 41.4% of women are their family’s sole breadwinner. As women gain more financial power, how will their status in society change? What impact will these trends have on families, communities, and national policies? Is society prepared for this dramatic change? <br><br>Liza Mundy is the best-selling author of<i> Michelle: A Biography </i>and<i> Everything Conceivable</i>. For more than ten years, she has covered politics, popular culture, and women's issues as a staff writer at the Washington Post. She is also a Bernard Schwartz fellow at the New America Foundation and a regular contributor to the online magazine Slate, where she participates in the women's blog XX Factor. She has written for Lingua Franca, Redbook, Mother Jones, Washington City Paper, and Washington Monthly. Her provocative new book <i>The Richer Sex </i>is now available in paperback.<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
