With writing featured in The Guardian, The Nation, and n+1, among other publications, Moira Weigel discusses her debut book, Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating. Weaving together over one hundred years of history with scenes from the contemporary landscape, Labor of Love offers a fresh feminist perspective on how we came to date the ways we do. This isn't a guide to getting the guy. There are no ridiculous rules to follow. Instead, Weigel helps us understand how looking for love shapes who we are and hopefully leads us closer to the happy ending that dating promises.
