Women, Men and the Whole Damn Thing. by Leser, David - 2019

Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2019. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 309 pp. First edition. David Leser uncovers the roots of misogyny, its inextricable links to the patriarchy, and how history brought us to the #MeToo movement and the wave of incandescent female rage that is sweeping the world. He also interrogates his own psyche, privilege and culpability as he looks at the 'collective wound of the world'. He asks how we can move toward healing and profound and permanent change. The book has emerged from his February 2018 Good Weekend cover story. He received hundreds of messages from readers around the world - telling him he needed to broaden his story. Here is the book. The bestselling water-cooler book of the #MeToo era.
