Contributors include Cassie Jaye, Karen Straughan, Diana Davison, Janice Fiamengo and Barbara Kay. Endorsements: "Honest and brave: women telling their stories - I couldn't put the book down." - Erin Pizzey, founder of the world's first women's shelter. "Daughters of Feminism is a heartfelt, powerful collection of essays by women on what's really wrong between the sexes today. Passionate, eclectic and engaged, these essays and their authors challenge conventional thinking from many perspectives, often backed by harrowing personal tales." - John Robson, National Post columnist and documentary filmmaker. "Daughters of Feminism is almost a miracle in this age of #MeToo triumphalism; a collection of essays by women who dare to think critically about themselves as women. Most important, the authors actually care about men, and not only about the men in their own lives. No matter how remote the possibility of inter-sexual dialogue seems right now, these essays offer hope for its eventual realization." - Paul Nathanson, co-author of Spreading Misandry;The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture and other books on misandry. "Introduced with his own wisdom and passion, David Shackleton here presents an ocean of truths rarely expressed-the gender truths that are missing. 30 courageously honest women reveal their awakening from hostility, blame and victim.
