Happy Place · Book Club Meets: Tradwives and the manosphere, with Caro Claire Burke · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

And so then I think that if I had tried to include all these themes consciously, it would have not worked.

Or at least I like to think that it works.

And I think I would have been really jammed down with it.

And I think because I was just focusing on Natalie, it just kind of came.

And then in later drafts, you can edit it and start to really think about it.

But with the first draft, I think it was really just her obsession with motherhood or with the modern workplace or what have you that kind of came out as an aside.

And I didn't really think about it too hard.

Yeah.

Was that kind of a coincidence or it's just on your mind?

Can I tell you?

So I sold this book two years ago.

And when I went to auction with it, I spoke with a bunch of editors in New York.

And there were a small handful who said, we've got to rush this because it won't be relevant in a few years.

And I'm not happy that it's relevant.

Like, wouldn't it have been nice?

I would happily have taken my book no longer being relevant for a world where this was solved.

But it is funny when I think about it that over the last two years, so much has happened that I think makes this book more relevant than ever before.

But really, no, when we were writing it, there was a period of time right after I sold Yesteryear where we thought in the States we were going to have our first woman president.

So there have been so many different political moments that have taken place in the past two years.

And yeah, the manosphere is one example that has just exploded in conversation in the last two years.
