Product Description
by David Shackleton (Author)
An original and penetrating exploration of gender grounded in social psychology, the psychology of societies. The riddle of how feminism has been so powerful under a banner of powerlessness is solved. Women's social power is explained and explored and discovered to be equal to but different from that of men. Original and fundamental models of male and female power in codependent relationship and of psychological growth are presented and illustrated with story and example. The task of social advocacy around gender equality is explored and developed in a context of what has worked historically. The book ends with a moving appeal to transcend ideologies of gender judgment and work together to create a future desired by and good for both women and men. The Hand That Rocks the World is presented as a detective puzzle, in which the reader is challenged to discern the deeper gender reality behind the codependent cover story of male power and female victimhood. Not to be missed by any serious student of gender or psychological growth.
