Alexander’s book goes beyond the classic feminist pamphlet and offers a series of concrete proposals in a quest for gender equality. It has substantive appeal for men to assume responsibility, but also to liberate themselves through feminism by breaking free from traditions, stereotypes and social pressures that perpetuate inequality between men and women. Because feminism also benefits men.
