No Man's Land - by Kathleen Gerson (Paperback)

About the Book

In a long-overdue look at the most neglected aspect of the gender revolution--the male side--Gerson, rather than focusing on the differences between men and women, points out the variations among men, and perceives signs of positive change.

Book Synopsis

What does it mean to be a man in a world where women are almost as likely as men to shoulder the responsibilities of supporting a family? Why do some men still choose to be traditional breadwinners while others flee the responsibilities of parenthood altogether, and still others become infinitely more involved in family life than earlier generations of men? Here's a look at how men are coping with the gender revolution.
