  Women in the 21st century have more than ever before, yet many find themselves angry, dissatisfied and stressed. This book explores these issues, with 26 women inviting readers into their lives, minds and bedrooms to talk about the choices they've made. They discuss their relationships, families, frustrations and hopes. For some, the conflicts involve the stresses of juggling motherhood and a career; for others, the feeling of not wanting children - or fear that they've left it too late.

  Women today are supposed to have it all. A fulfilling career, a loving marriage, children, fantastic sex and a beautiful home. Not to mention looking flawless at all times and younger than they actually are. Is it any wonder that so many feel angry, dissatisfied, stressed out? Funny, passionate, angry and provocative, The Bitch in the House is a no-holds-barred look at working women's lives today. Here 26 women - ranging in age from 24 to 67 and single and childless, or married with children, or four times divorced - offer details of their lives that they've never publicly revealed. They talk about the choices they've made, their relationships, families, frustrations and hopes. For some the conflicts involve the stresses of juggling motherhood and a career; for others the feeling of not wanting children - or the fear that they've left it too late.
