Synopsis

Inspired by Emma Watson's #HeForShe campaign and drawing from personal experiences, Jaskanwal Singh uses his law degree and his passion for social justice to make a compelling case for why feminism needs to be the future. In writing his debut book (a lifelong dream), he uses the lessons he has learned throughout life to raise awareness on important social issues and to articulate why more people, especially men, need to embrace feminism before it is too late. From growing up in a gritty, lower socio-economic neighbourhood (aka "the hood") plagued with gang violence, crime, racism, rampant drug use, toxic masculinity and misogyny to working in a "prestigious" legal field plagued with male privilege and male chauvinism, one thing became increasingly clear to him: there was a need to speak up against the patriarchy that permeated every facet of life.While additionally struggling to come to grips with the toxic masculinity, alcoholism and sexism prevalent in the Indian-Punjabi community, this book is also a part of a healing journey towards the self-realization of one's true worth. Simultaneously a self-reflection memoir, a philosophical analysis, an educational essay and a social wake-up call on the power of feminism, there are themes within this book that will encourage the reader towards self-growth via deep soul-searching and thought-provoking introspection. Through weaving personal themes such as mental health, self-love, addiction and the downfalls of toxic masculinity into broader themes related to social awareness and educational reform, as well as examining feminism with feminist legends, pop culture icons and popular franchises such as Betty Friedan, Margaret Atwood, Simone de Beauvoir, Ronda Rousey, Drake, Cardi B, 2Pac, Paul McCartney, Kurt Cobain, "Game of Thrones", "the Avengers" and "the Simpsons", the author ensures that this book will be sure to resonate with just about anyone.
