THe interviewees tell their life stories, their `making' and reveal their differences to male chauvinists. Timely and sincere, The Making of Anti-Sexist Men will appeal to all those interested in changing oppressive gender attitudes and social structures. Zusammenfassung Based around eight interviews with men who have engaged with feminism, this book provides the first full account of anti-sexist male attitudes.
