Prof. Jill Hasday’s Latest Book, We the Men, reviewed in Jotwell

Professor Eliot Tracz of New England Law Boston reviewed Professor Jill Hasday’s latest book, We the Men: How Forgetting Women’s Struggles for Equality Perpetuates Inequality (Oxford University Press 2025) in Jotwell. In an excerpt from his review, Professor Tracz wrote: “Professor Hasday’s book ... deserves to be recognized as a pillar of contemporary feminist legal jurisprudence ... Professor Hasday presents a new look at persistent problems plaguing the fight for women’s equality. Her argument raises many issues which deserve honest discussion, beginning with the question of how we can rely on a ‘history and tradition’ that excluded women from a seat at the table. From there, the possible topics for discussion are practically endless. As a result, this book should be a staple of book clubs and seminar classes for years to come. ... If you want to find a true path towards equality, read this book.”
