Voice Male: The Untold Story of the Pro-Feminist Men's Movement
Rob A. Okun
2013 · 480 pages · Narrative nonfiction
How it reads
Voice Male: The Untold Story of the Pro-Feminist Men's Movement is narrative nonfiction (social movement history, specifically), and its dominant mood is hopeful. Whatever it puts its people through, it believes things can get better. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in several locations, in the recent past, told through letters, documents or mixed forms. Its central concerns are identity, justice and class and society. In weight it's heavy and literary — denser, more serious, and more demanding of you.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 480 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
Pick it up if…
- you're in the mood for something hopeful
- you want something to chew on
- you want a complete story in one book
Maybe not if…
- you need something melancholy or dark
