En skilsmässa på tjugohundratalet borde knappast vara något skamligt, ändå upplever många som skiljer sig att de ikläds en offerroll, att de inte tillåts vara lyckliga över sitt beslut. I antologin Happy, happy - en bok om skilsmässa bjuds läsaren på en annan bild av separation än den som vanligtvis ges. Det är berättelser om skilsmässor som positiva och berikande erfarenheter. En bok som vill stärka och inspirera alla som tagit steget - och alla som kanske funderar på att ta det... Maria-Pia Boëthius, Pernilla Glaser, Mari Jungstedt, Åsa Larsson, Mian Lodalen, Gudrun Schyman, Mia Skäringer och Helena von Zweigbergk delar tillsammans med Maria Sveland och Katarina Wennstam med sig av sina personliga erfarenheter av att bryta upp.

Maria Sveland (born 1974) is an author and journalist from Sweden, best known for the 2007 book Bitterfittan (a title which is a Swedish compound noun, and could be translated either as The Bittercunt or The Bitter Cunt, or, less literally, The Bitterbitch or The Bitter Bitch). Bitterfittan is, according to Sveland, not an autobiography but rather a work inspired by her own experiences. The book criticizes the institutionalized nuclear family from a feminist perspective, pointing out issues such as women's unpaid domestic labor, sexual violence, and the disproportional male/female use of parental leave.
