The Will to Cope. bell hooks' "The Will to Change"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Will to Change is often recommended as a text that addresses men's concerns in feminist movements and elucidates how men benefit from participation in feminism. At least, that's the popular conception of the work. Emma and Talia discuss whether that's actually the case, whether anyone reads or at least comprehends the books they recommend, and the continued efforts of post-second wave feminists to deprioritize women's liberation in women's movements.
