Kay Hymowitz
Kay S. Hymowitz (born December 25, 1948) is an American author and sociologist that is perhaps best known for her 2011 non-fiction book, Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men Into Boys.
Born in Philadelphia, she earned her B.A. at Brandeis University, and her M.A. in English literature from Tufts University.
She taught English literature and composition at Brooklyn College and at the Parsons School of Design. As of 2010 she was the William E. Simon fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Her writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children.
In a Wall Street Journal editorial, Hymowitz argues that the widely reported marriage crisis is limited to certain sectors of the population.
[M]arital breakdown is not rampant across the land. It is concentrated among low-income and black couples. Americans seem to have a lot of trouble grasping this fact, probably because so much public space is taken up by politicians, celebrities and journalists with marriages on the skids.
She argues that divorce is declining among well educated Caucasians, and that couples are registering increased marital satisfaction, rather than divorcing, once the children leave the nest.
According to Scripps News Service, however, Hymowitz perceives a gap between the education, accomplishments and aspirations of young women and men in today's society.
