For years, it's been "common knowledge" that once a woman turns thirty, her chances of finding a husband diminish significantly. Myths suggest that men are intimidated by successful women, preferring more submissive partners, and that women are biologically driven to seek strong providers. Additionally, it's believed that higher IQs in women correlate with lower marriage rates. In this insightful work, Christine B. Whelan challenges the notion that high-achieving women are at a disadvantage in the marriage market. The encouraging news for American SWANS (Strong Women Achievers, No Spouse) is that today’s successful women marry at rates comparable to other women, and increased education and income may actually enhance their marriage prospects. Utilizing newly released U.S. Census data, a Harris Interactive survey, and extensive interviews across the country, Dr. Whelan highlights a significant demographic shift indicating that the so-called "success penalty" is on the verge of disappearing. Accomplished women can finally feel reassured that personal and professional happiness can coexist. Notably, ninety percent of high-achieving men prefer partners who are equally or more intelligent, and two-thirds believe that smart women make better mothers. Dr. Whelan combines research with practical advice, reinforcing that the aim is not merely to marry, but to cultivate a fulfilling life and a strong marriage.
