Description de l’éditeur

From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, an evergreen treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all.

Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men.

Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are.

With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

A must read for anyone that feels love and call for better understanding manhood

Such an important book that brings so much clarity about how men were socialized in a way that prevent them to access and receive deep and true love. Every chapter is as tough as beautiful to read. This bell hooks’ piece is a must read for anyone trying to understand the mystery of men’s behavior. And she is doing it with so much love and tenderness for men. Clearly addressing patriarchy and also challenging some limitations of some aspects of feminism while bringing her approach as a feminist. Also naming how much most of women in our society contribute unconsciously to the patriarchal way of raising boys. While reading it, you will see your father, lovers, male friends and increase your awareness about how your son may experience manhood when growing up. I also noticed that many men that read that book got very deeply touched and deeply identified with bell hoods view.
