We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad, lonely, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce. In this exuberant and unapologetic book, Lenz makes an argument for the advantages of getting divorced, framing it as a practical and effective solution for women to take back the power they are owed. Weaving reportage with sociological research and literature with popular culture along with personal stories of coming together and breaking up, Lenz creates a kaleidoscopic and poignant portrait of American marriage today. She argues that the mechanisms of American power, justice, love, and gender equality remain deeply flawed, and that marriage, like any other cultural institution, is due for a reckoning. A raucous argument for acceptance, solidarity, and collective female refusal, This American Ex-Wife takes readers on a riveting ride—while pointing us all toward a life that is a little more free. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Family & Relationships. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sociology. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Lenz, Lyz. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9893179 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7B0DA0BDC9-3CA1-4C07-B617-BF86F86AB6D0%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7B0DA0BDC9-3CA1-4C07-B617-BF86F86AB6D0%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/0da0bdc9-3ca1-4c07-b617-bf86f86ab6d0 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240206011234.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D892132C4BD11EEB847D6DA21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
