The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

The deepest, most robust fear I felt growing up as a female in the Christian church was being honest about my deepest struggle—pornography. The idea of opening up about my secret sin was almost unthinkable. I swore to never confess, because I truly thought I was the only one who had ever had this problem and this desire. I hit a breaking point and couldn’t hold in my secret any longer. Sharing with another woman was one of the most frightening things I have ever done, but the wave of relief of knowing that I wasn’t alone was worth it all. From that point forward, the Lord began to show me, through the power of vulnerability, that I wasn’t alone in this battle. A battle I thought only men were supposed to deal with turned out to be a burden that too many of us women were carrying in silence. I began to share my story openly with those around me, and my life was never the same. Hearing other women’s stories brought such a profound sense of freedom. I began to think that there must be a way more women could hear each other’s real stories. That’s when I realized, there is such a great need for resources on this topic. What better way to break down walls than by sharing women’s real experiences, accompanied with solid biblical truth? Thus, this book was born. Not Just a Man’s Problem contains 11 chapters, seven of which are testimonies from women ages 19-26 centered around their personal struggles with pornography. The other four chapters are topical, research-based chapters, with topics including biblical sexuality, masturbation, parenting, and shame. These chapters work together to reveal the reality that pornography is not just a man’s problem.

A nonfiction investigation into masculinity, For The Love of Men provides actionable steps for how to be a man in the modern world, while also exploring how being a man in the world has evolved. In 2019, traditional masculinity is both rewarded and sanctioned. Men grow up being told that boys don’t cry and dolls are for girls (a newer phenomenon than you might realize—gendered toys came back in vogue as recently as the 80s). They learn they must hide their feelings and anxieties, that their masculinity must constantly be proven. They must be the breadwinners, they must be the romantic pursuers. This hasn’t been good for the culture at large: 99% of school shooters are male; men in fraternities are 300% (!) more likely to commit rape; a woman serving in uniform has a higher likelihood of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire. In For the Love of Men, Liz offers a smart, insightful, and deeply-researched guide for what we're all going to do about toxic masculinity. For both women looking to guide the men in their lives and men who want to do better and just don’t know how, For the Love of Men will lead the conversation on men's issues in a society where so much is changing, but gender roles have remained strangely stagnant. What are we going to do about men? Liz Plank has the answer. And it has the possibility to change the world for men and women alike.
