A fists-up handbook for helping dads help their daughters resist the patriarchy, written by popular feminist dad blogger Mike Adamick
As a primary male role model in a girl's life, a father influences his daughter in profound ways, from the way she defines her female identity to what she expects from men. In Raising Empowered Daughters, Mike Adamick offers a wise and witty handbook for dads, suggesting ways to raise girls who won't settle for second-class-citizenship. Examining the extraordinary array of sexisms-both subtle and not-so-subtle-girls encounter, Adamick highlights not just the ways that girls and boys are treated differently but how the roles of moms and dads are shaped by society, too.
Full of eye-opening anecdotes and dad-relatable humor, this is a necessary guide for every father who wants to raise a confident daughter.

      Stay-at-home dad Adamick ("Dad's Book of Awesome..." series; "Daddy Issues" column, Jezebel.com.), a former investigative reporter, here reports on the gender imbalances in our culture in areas such as clothing (boys' attire speaks to a message of playing hard and going to college, while girls' reflects "love-obsessed objects in slim jeans and flower-font hashtags"); food (children as young as five reported dissatisfaction with their bodies, according to a study by the nonprofit Common Sense Media); sports; and the fields of math and science. The author also explores the double struggle faced by African American girls and ends each chapter with tips for dads to help their daughters resist the sexism and cultural oppression they face and to walk in confidence. VERDICT Few books line the shelves for dads of daughters; Adamick's is straightforward, full of humor, and will be well received.
