Trouble With Boys

Journalist Angela Phillips's book takes a look at the socialization of boys - the process which is creating the men of the future. She argues that there are differences between girls and boys - whether due to nature or nurture - which we are failing to address. Feminism has made huge strides towards removing from girls the stigma of being born female, but its cause will not be helped by breeding boys who are ashamed to be male. Drawing widely on recent research on gender and parenthood, as well as her own experiences as both feminist and mother of a son, Angela Phillips presents a critique of present parenthood theory and practice, suggesting new ways to revise the meaning of masculinity, rather than undermining maleness itself.
