Can Boys Be Feminists?
A book dedicated to boys, young males who want to approach feminism: to understand it a little more, to become allies in the struggles of their female friends and, above all, to free themselves from the stereotypes that still exist on the idea of ‘man’ or ‘male’ and to understand how a non-toxic masculinity can do them a lot of good too!
The book answers the many questions that the author, a feminist activist, trainer and parent of teenage boys, has heard from boys over the years and speaks in simple and appealing language, enriched by the cartoons and comics by Cristina Portolano, cartoonist of International KIDS magazine.
After so many books for the self-determination of girls, here comes a much-needed book so that the boys of today can participate in social change as leading allies, and critically decide how to become men of tomorrow in their own way.
