Rosin has published a book based on her 2010 Atlantic story, The End of Men. In it, she argued that the US is now in an era of female dominance. She said that the service economy is dominated by women. She also said she believes women will fill up leadership positions in many other industries, and that finance will be "the last one to go". She gave a TED talk on the subject in 2010. In the talk, she details the emergence of women as a powerful force in the American workplace. For Rosin, this shifting economy has allowed women to use their most gendered stereotypical strengths to succeed.
