Society's expectations of men and boys today are bad for all of us- this engaging, urgent and accessible book calls for change
Rebecca Asher has worked in television news and current affairs and as the Deputy Editor of Woman's Hour and an Executive Producer at BBC Radio 4. Her first book was Shattered- Modern Motherhood and the Illusion of Equality. Her experiences as a mother of both a boy and a girl inspired her to write this book.
Interesting...vivid...a valuable book for parents. Man Up employs
meticulous research to examine how boys and men are faring today…
Strive[s] to illuminate - shining torches out into the modern
world.
*Observer*
Timely and necessary ... populated by thoughtful interviewees, many
of whom are trying to change things
*Independent*
A powerful, thought-provoking call to arms
*The Economist*
Man Up provides a warning to all parents. If we don't like what we
see out there in the society of grown men ... then we need to
tackle seriously the culture at this young age. One of Asher’s
biggest messages is that we need to show more “love, compassion and
understanding for boys”
*Sunday Herald*
Asher…has done a great deal of research…and writes with exemplary
clarity, even-handedness and sympathy.
*Daily Telegraph*
Fascinating and rather brilliant.
