  • Boys Will Be Boys
    PRAISE FOR BOYS WILL BE BOYS ‘A damning look at toxic masculinity. It’s the most important thing you’ll read this year.’ Elle Australia ‘Boys Will Be Boys is a timely contribution to feminist literature. Her central point is clear and confronting, and it represents something of a challenge… Ferocious, incisive, an effective treatise.’ Australian Book Review ‘A piercing gaze at contemporary patriarchy, gendered oppression and toxic masculinity.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A truly vital piece of social commentary from Australia’s fiercest feminist, Boys Will Be Boys should be shoved into the hands of every person you know. Clementine Ford has done her research—despite what her angry detractors would have you believe—and spits truths about toxic masculinity and the dangers of the patriarchy with passion and a wonderfully wry sense of humour. Read it, learn from it, and share it—this book is absolute GOLD!’ AU Review, 16 Best Books of 2018 ‘Boys Will Be Boys is an impassioned call for societal change from a writer who has become a stand-out voice of her generation (and has the trolls to prove it) and an act of devotion from a mother to her son.’ Readings ‘With pithy jokes and witty commentary, this is an engrossing read, and Ford’s spirited tone evokes passion for change.’ Foreword Reviews ‘Clementine Ford reveals the fragility behind “toxic masculinity” in Boys Will Be Boys.’ The Conversation ‘Boys Will Be Boys highlights the need to refocus on how we’re raising our boys to be better men. The ingrained toxic masculinity within society does just as much damage to our boys as it does to our girls, and this book highlights how to change that.’ Fernwood Magazine PRAISE FOR FIGHT LIKE A GIRL ‘Her brilliant book could light a fire with its fury.
