This is not about blame —
it's about better
“Not your average book; very insightful and thought-provoking. If you’re a dude, give it a try: a much different perspective on things that make a lot of sense.” Wilfrid N., Civil Servant
“A friend who read an early draft of this book asked if she could share it with a male friend for feedback. When he asked what it was about, she said, ‘Reimagining the patriarchy.’ His response? ‘I need that. I don't know where to begin!’”
