Critics Review
Danielle Crittenden “New York Post” In Christina Hoff Sommers’s splendid new book…she shows the damage that is being done to our sons by adults determined to stop them from being, well, boys.
Marilyn Gardner “The Christian Science Monitor” Provocative and controversial…Sommers’s voice is impassed and articulate.
Mary Eberstadt “The Washington Times” This book promises to launch and influence an enduring national debate….The author trains her empirical and polemical skills on an issue of demonstrable and often poignant urgency.
Richard Bernstein “The New York Times” The burden of [this] thoughtful, provocative book is that it is American boys who are in trouble, not girls. Ms. Sommers… makes these arguments persuasively and unflinchingly, with plenty of data to support them.
