For the Love of Men explores the false beliefs surrounding men and masculinity that have stunted progress in society and led to an epidemic of violence and loneliness, offering a new vision for equality.

Masculinity may be what makes men feel like men, but it's also the reason they are more violent, more lonely, and dying younger than women.

And while empowering boys and men may not seem like a feminist goal, it could be the key to a more equal society.

For the Love of Men is journalist Liz Plank's first book, inspired off the back of her 2016 TEDx Talk called How to Be a Man, a Woman's Guide.

Plank draws on her academic background in gender studies, as well as her work on feminism for outlets like MSNBC, Vox, and Mic.

For the Love of Men is a thoroughly researched guide to masculinity and manhood as we know it today, deconstructing the lies we've long-believed about men.

Plank offers a new vision where men no longer need to aspire to the antiquated ideals and traits that hold back equality and progress, while harming themselves in the process.
