Critics Review
“A fierce…denunciation of patriarchy and a clarion call to the uncommitted to align themselves with visionary radical feminism.”
—Publishers Weekly
“[hooks] shows men that life can be so much more rewarding and beautiful once they embrace themselves.”
–Bookriot
“Pioneering.”
–MSNBC
“A clear and nuanced account of the ways masculine conditioning shapes and damages men. It conveys the pressure men feel and place on themselves as it creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal — not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives.”
–Buzzfeed
“Each offering from bell hooks is a major event…She has so much to give us.”
—Maya Angelou
