Feminism’s Founding Fathers 
The Men Who Fought for Women’s Rights

Why have so many remarkable men fought for womens rights, often risking their careers and ruining their health? Who were these men, what were their backgrounds, above all: what kind of relationships did they have with women? Finally, if there have been so many deviations from the male-oppressor/female-victim cliche, doesnt this stereotype need to be relativized or indeed rejected? Feminisms Founding Fathers is the first book to tell the untold story of the traitors to the mens cause – the pioneers and fellow-travellers of female emancipation. It challenges accepted wisdom and reveals the vital role that men have played in making Womens Lib happen.
