True Manliness - From the Writings of Thomas Hughes

Synopsis

In "True Manliness," Thomas Hughes offers a compelling exploration of the virtues and responsibilities that define true manhood in Victorian society. Through a rich tapestry of anecdotes, moral philosophy, and social critique, Hughes articulates a vision of masculinity that transcends mere bravado and adventurism, advocating for qualities such as integrity, compassion, and the pursuit of noble ideals. The literary style blends didactic prose with vivid storytelling, reflecting the era's preoccupation with moral reform and the shaping of character in young boys and men. This book emerges as a cultural artifact, resonating with contemporary themes of identity and ethics while contextualizing them within its historical framework. Hughes, an influential Victorian author and educator, was deeply invested in issues of education, reform, and social justice. His experiences as a schoolmaster and a member of the Christian Socialist movement shaped his perspective on the importance of character development in young men. Drawing from personal convictions and societal observations, Hughes's desire to foster a more altruistic version of masculinity stemmed from a larger goal of improving society through individual moral progress. "True Manliness" is a profound read for those seeking to understand the complexities of male identity in a bygone era, as well as for modern readers grappling with similar themes. Hughes's insights provide both a reflective lens and an inspirational guide on the qualities that define a true man. This book remains a timeless exploration of moral integrity, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of masculinity.

Gender: Your Guide - A...

PhD Lee Airton

The days of two genders—male, female; boy, girl; blue, pink—are over, if they ever existed at all. Gender is now a global conversation, and one that is constantly evolving. More people than ever before are openly living their lives as transgender men or women, and many transgender people are coming out as neither men nor women, instead living outside of the binary. Gender is changing, and this change is gaining momentum. 
 
 
 
We all want to do and say the right things in relation to gender diversity—whether at a job interview, at parent/teacher night, and around the table at family dinners. But where do we begin? 
 
 
 
From the differences among gender identity, gender expression, and sex, to the use of gender-neutral pronouns like singular they/them, to thinking about your own participation in gender, Gender: Your Guide serves as "a warm, inviting guide to a complicated area" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Professor and gender diversity advocate Lee Airton, PhD, explains how gender works in everyday life; how to use accurate terminology to refer to transgender, non-binary, and/or gender non-conforming individuals; and how to ask when you aren't sure what to do or say. It provides the information you need to talk confidently and compassionately about gender diversity, whether simply having a conversation or going to bat as an advocate.
