About this title

Review:

'A fascinating account of the way in which various groups of men responded to the emergence of the women's movement. It is of genuine relevance to contemporary sexual politics. No other text covers the same ground in such an illuminating manner.' - Arthur Brittan, University of York

'Describing the pleasures and perils of confronting traditional patterns of masculinity, this collection from Achilles Heel introduces us to the men who were among the first to respond creatively to the challenge of feminism: a very useful resource.' - Lynne Segal, Middlesex Polytechnic
