Dads for Daughters
How Fathers Can Give Their Daughters a Better, Brighter, Fairer Future
Today’s dads are raising confident, empowered daughters who believe they can achieve anything. But the world is still profoundly unequal, with workplaces built by men, a massive gender pay gap, and deeply-ingrained gender stereotypes. Dads For Daughters: How Fathers Can Give their Daughters a Better, Brighter, Fairer Future offers fathers guidance for building a more equal world for their daughters. It also offers women a path for recruiting more men to join the fight for women’s rights.
Inspired by their daughters, fathers are uniquely positioned to become powerful allies for girls and women. But in a post-#MeToo world, it can be difficult for men to step in and speak up. Despite these challenges, many men are still coming forward as ready, willing, and able supporters, who want to learn more about becoming part of the solution. That’s where Dads for Daughters can help. This book arms fathers with the data they need to advocate for gender equity. It also provides role models by sharing inspiring stories of dads of daughters who have already had an impact. Most importantly, it offers concrete strategies and expert advice for how dads of daughters can begin to make a difference.
In this book, dads of daughters will find a wide range of options for where to focus their energy—from mentoring women to equalizing pay, from sports fields to science labs, from building empathy to combating gender bias, from boardrooms to ballot boxes. Dads who are committed to seeing their daughters achieve their dreams have an opportunity to improve the world that their daughters will enter. With every small step, dads have the power to make incredible change and support the progress of girls and women in their families, workplaces, and communities.
Dads for Daughters also offers women a practical guide for engaging passionate men into action. It highlights successful strategies for working with men to support girls and women, and it offers resources for engaging men in gender equity initiatives. Women and men are stronger working together. Together, we can support a happier, more successful feminist future for all of our daughters to thrive.
