Description

Andrea Doucet's Do Men Mother? explores how fathers are redefining traditional parenting models. Through interviews with over one hundred fathers from diverse backgrounds, Doucet examines the ways in which men are taking on more childcare responsibilities and challenging societal norms. This second edition builds upon the author's initial research, revisiting six fathers and their partners a decade after the first interviews to explore how attitudes towards fatherhood have evolved. The book delves into key questions about the role of fathers in modern family life, including the motivations behind men's increasing involvement in childcare and the impact on traditional gender roles. By shedding light on the experiences of Canadian parents, Doucet sheds light on a significant shift in the way families approach childcare and domestic responsibilities in the 21st century.
