如果有一條通往強健婚姻關係、快樂家庭生活、巨大經濟與情感安全感的道路，妳有興趣嗎？如有，這本書就是這條道路，引領妳得到自己想要的一切。

關於男人，女人對於兩個困惑問題始終無法找到答案：1) 為什麼女生在大學畢業生占了一半數量，但是高權領導者都是男人？2) 為什麼家裡亂糟糟的情況下，男人還會想做愛？很意外地，這兩個答案是相關的。對女人來說，阻擋她們道路的不僅是那層無形的晉升障礙（glass ceiling），還有她們所承擔日益繁重的家庭責任。

這本書不是敘述男女爭鋒的權利鬥爭，而是深度了解一名女人的肩上為何總是扛起工作與家庭的雙重責任，甚至辛苦承擔兩者衝突的責任？她身邊的男人在哪裡？作者在書裡提出解決法，並觀察到女人為了避免讓一段關係失去熱情，永遠精疲力盡地維持關係的美好。這麼做的結果，適得其反。

運用幽默、激勵與個人見解，作者提出真實範例，證明在家裡擁有平和的男人與女人，在工作職場上也是成功者。同時，從社會心理學、歷史和她自己的故事提出每個女人可以訂定一個家庭的全新與更好的協議，以達到真正的成功。這些解決方法適用於每個女人，無論是已婚或是新婚。

這是一本寫給每位女人的書。一部分的發表宣言、一部分的人生地圖，開啟女人發現對自己最重要的是什麼，投入全心精力，完成她們心中的目標與理想。

"There are two ways that a system of power stays in power. The first is obvious--unequal laws, unequal opportunity, very unequal money, and violence or the threat of violence--the second is more internal and difficult to uproot. Tiffany Dufu's Drop the Ball is crucial because it takes on that deeper system. She is the right author for this important moment in time. She offers actionable wisdom to pass from one woman to another, from her family to yours. She not only shows that we all gain when women become part of, contribute our talents to, and are ourselves changed by the world outside the home, but also how we will gain when men become part of, contribute their talents to, and are themselves changed by the world inside the home. We need women and men who lead by example, as Tiffany Dufu does for readers on these pages."──From the Foreword by Gloria Steinem

"We won't reach equality in the workplace without equality in the home. Drop the Ball shows how everyone benefits when men work towards equality -- and how our relationships and our lives are richer when we lean in together."──Sheryl Sandberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lean In

"If you could follow a path to a stronger marriage, a happier family, and greater economic and emotional security, would you be interested? I thought so. Tiffany Dufu’s DROP THE BALL is that path. And she’s awfully good company along the way."──Susan Cain, co-founder of Quiet Revolution and New York Times bestselling author of QUIET: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

"In sharing her moving personal story, Tiffany Dufu offers many practical suggestions for women to achieve their goals. But what influenced me the most about this book was the wisdom she imparts to men about how to be better partners in supporting the leadership journeys of the women in their lives. Drop the Ball is a refreshingly honest, remarkably inspiring read.”
--Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take
