Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Permission to Prosper

Azriela Jaffe · 2002
72/100
👍 Worth It

Jaffe wrote into a real gap in 2002 — dual-income couples where the wife's career demands aren't being supported at home — and Booklist noted that her advice comes from both research and lived experience. The framing is dated in places and skews toward professional-class heterosexual marriages, but the core material on household equity and communication still holds up for its intended reader.
