Advance praise for The Myth of Male Power

A BOMBSHELLForces us to see our everyday world from a fresh perspective.

CAMILLE PAGLIA, The Washington Post

Beg, borrow, or steal to get The Myth of Male Power. This book is vital for every woman and manbut especially for every man. I was amazed at how many myths about women and men I bought into until I read The Myth of Male Power.

DAVID HOROWITZ, National Public Radio

Intellectual dynamite! By asking new questions, proposing new paradigms, and giving us a deeper insight into the forces that have shaped us, Dr. Farrell continues to open genuine communications between the sexes.

ANTHONY ROBBINS, author of Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within

If you can imagine Sherlock Holmes investigating men and women and presenting his arguments with the clarity of a Perry Mason, the political irreverence of a Camille Paglia, and the compassion of a therapist, you have an image of The Myth of Male Power. There is no more brilliant and original book ever written on men, or on how we can move from gender war to gender love.

BOB BERKOWITZ, former Mens reporter, the Today show.

I have never read a manuscript more likely to be a bestseller. It will change forever the way men view their position in society. I wish I were its publisher.

JEREMY P. TARCHER, Publisher

Read The Myth of Male Power if you truly want to understand the man you hold dear. It is a rock solid and authentic decimation of the myth of male advantage that sweeps aside stereotyped assumptions to uncover a deeper and truer truth.

SUSAN DEITZ, Los Angeles Times Syndicate

I cannot think of another book I have read in the past decade that has stimulated a comparable amount of new thinking in meIt is one of the most challenging, stimulating, and mind-blowing books I have ever read.

NATHANIEL BRANDEN, Ph.D., author, The Psychology of Self-Esteem

The single most important book Ive ever read on male-female relationships. It is compelling, powerful, and seminal.

WARREN BENNIS, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the University of Southern California; author of On Becoming a Leader

More riveting than most novels, The Myth of Male Power is brilliant, insightful, and devastating. If you thought Robert Bly and Camille Paglia shook up gender discourse... prepare for a major earthquake! Farrells truths explode like bombshells. No one who reads this book with an open mind will ever look at menor womenin the same way. It is a quantum leap into a more humane future.

EUGENE R. AUGUST, Ph.D., Professor of Literature, University of Dayton; author of Mens Studies: A Bibliography

Explosive

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The gravity and significance of Farrells fierce challenge to conventional wisdom about gender is matched by his compassion, passion, courage, careful research, and absence of acrimony. This book is irreplaceable.

LIONEL TIGER, Ph.D., author of The Decline of Males

This is one terrific book. Highly original, compelling and compassionate. As ground breaking and provocative as The Feminine Mystique was decades ago.

CAROL CASSELL, Ph.D., Past president, American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists

Extraordinary power and eloquence, which derive from the authors ability to retain his compassion for women while identifying with male suffering

The Vancouver Sun

Every few decades, a book comes along that so shatters and rearranges our way of seeing the world that it gives us a kind of ideational vertigo. Such a book is Warren Farrells The Myth of Male Power. There are little bombshells on every page. Our view of men and women throughout history and in our current society will never be the same..

Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments

My father (Tom), new mother (of twenty-four years, Lee), and sister, Gail, offer a base of love and stability from which all my writing flows. Watching my father traverse his eighties with skis and tennis racquets offers me hope; seeing him support my mother through bouts of cancer teaches me love; feeling us grow closer as we grow older brings me peace. Watching my mother go from a hospital bed to a church organ strengthens my own faith and courage; experiencing the way she listens has modeled for me the glue that unites a family while allowing each member to feel heard. Knowing that my sister has patience and compassion for the children whose lives she touches through teaching lightens my worry for our future.

Joyce McHugh has managed my in-home offices, computers, and speaking engagements, and served as a closet editorweaving precision, clarity, and flow through every page of this book during its dozen or so drafts over the past four years. Marilyn Abraham, my editor, has the soul of an earth mother and the editorial axe of a warrior, and seems to know exactly when to use each. Her faith in this book remained steadfast even as it became its own child.

Every chapter of this book has haunted me as I saw how my observations conflicted with what is considered politically correct (PC). The support of three peopleNathaniel Branden, Jeremy Tarcher, and Elizabeth Brookinshelped me past the political cowardice that is PC. Nathaniels intellectual strength, Jeremys creative social consciousness, and the balanced insight and love of Liz combined to remind me that although I beat a different drum, it brings balance to the orchestra.

The letters from hundreds of men who wrote that Why Men Are the Way They Are put their feelings into words assured me that the direction I was taking was helping men open up; and letters from hundreds of women who wrote that Why Men Are... allowed them to feel closer to men reassured me that I was deepening love rather than dividing families.

Lisa Broidy and Dayna Miller searched thousands of publications and double-checked the accuracy of the more than 1,000 sources in this book. When in the future I read their writings, I will trust what I read. Thanks also go to Marla Robb and Mary Colette Plum for their research assistance, as well as to Julianna Badagliacca, Monika Chandler, Melissa Rosenstock, Karen Wilson, and to Richard Doyle for his careful legal research in his publication
