The single most important career decision a woman makes is her choice of life partner, according to Sheryl Sandberg. Brooks ignites that conversation for a new generation, arguing that women should demand a love that backs them up, as it lifts up the rest of their lives.

Sheryl Sandberg was right when she stated that the single most important career decision a woman makes is her choice of life partner. Brooks ignites that conversation for a new generation. In a world where women often shrink themselves to build up or appease the men in front of them, being the maximum version of oneself is a political act. Today's young women are told they can be anything, so they search for a love to back them, not hold them back. They desire the kind of love that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have, not Prince William and Kate. However, while they unapologetically own their careers, lives, and Bumble accounts, they are still unsure whether men truly accept or desire the women they have become. We are told to lean in at work, but wait for him to call. To ask for the pay rise, but not his number. We are ambitious at work but confused in love.
Women's dating behavior does not yet reflect the gender-equal partnerships we desire, and dating literature has remained so focused on helping us lock down a partner that it has ignored what independent women actually want from men: more.
The First Move is an insightful body of social research and a critique of our dating culture, interwoven with a young woman's call to finding contemporary love. Writer Emily J. Brooks explores women's socialization, real negotiation, and the unwavering benefits of equality in our romantic relationships. When women demand a love that backs them, it lifts up the rest of their lives, so it is time for us to step into our power.
