Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Susan Shapiro Barash Dear Reader, According to my study for my new book, LITTLE WHITE LIES, DEEP DARK SECRETS:THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WOMEN LIE, a startling and unexpected prevalence of societal lies and clandestine behaviors are used by women as a means to an end, including: * 80% of interviewees believe that women lie more cleverly and successfully than men. * More than 75% of women feel justified in having a secret to protect. * 70% of women attribute "living a lie" to how they've been positioned in marriages, the workplace, financially, or as mothers. * 75% of women say they lie about money to boyfriends, husbands, and family members. * 60% of interviewees admit to an addiction secret. Based on interviews with over 500 women of all ages, social strata and ethnicity, LITTLE WHITE LIES, DEEP DARK SECRETS underscores just how deeply women internalize their own mother's patterns of deception as they mature and have their own families. As a 'gender expert', my view of female lying is non-judgmental and recognized as a weapon in the female arsenal as women search for personal retribution. As Leslie Morgan Steiner, Editor of Mommy Wars and On Balance columnist for WashingtonPost.com, describes LITTLE WHITE LIES, DEEP DARK SECRETS: THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WOMEN LIE: "A fascinating, non-judgmental look at the unique cultural pressures that reward women for keeping secrets and lying."
