In Hannah’s Children, Catherine Ruth Pakaluk has written a ground-breaking book that provides novel, timely, and critical insight into the dramatic fertility decline that is taking place in developed nations. Pakaluk, a Harvard-trained economist who has eight children herself, conducted interviews with fifty-five college educated women living in the United States who had five or more children, seeking to understand why they had chosen to have such large families. Though we hear from the women about their children’s fathers, the story is told through the lens of the mothers.

We’ve often heard Hobbes say: “Man is a wolf to man”, meaning that threat and war are at the heart of our humanity. But what about women? Is war only a “man’s business”?

The study suggests several avenues for future research to further understand and address gender imbalances in the workforce. One key area is exploring how different aspects of job design, beyond recruitment strategies, might influence men’s decisions to enter female-dominated fields. Additionally, investigating the long-term effects of these interventions on both male and female workers’ career progression and job satisfaction could provide a more complete picture of diversity and inclusion in these sectors. Finally, expanding the research to other industries and cultural contexts would help determine the broader applicability of these findings and refine strategies for fostering gender diversity across various industries.
