I heartily endorse men not just reading an occasional book by a woman writer but to take it on as an immersive experience. I devoted 2015 to reading exclusively the work of woman (including my daily commute audiobooks):

I found the experience so transformative that I carried on for another year:

As a result, I discovered the work of writers like Gertrude Trevelyan, Jane White, and others we are now publishing in the Recovered Books series from Boiler House Press:

Any men interested in taking part in a deep dive into one of the longest and most unapologetically female books ever written is welcome to join our 2026 group reading Dorothy Richardson's 13-volume novel, Pilgrimage:

Good luck with this new venture!
