In this video essay, Chelsea dives into the realities of marriage for women, statistically speaking: how we’re sold an idea of an egalitarian partnership, and how that ultimately does not play out for many women — financially, or emotionally. Marrying the right partner can add so much to your life, but the wrong one can do exactly the opposite.
