A world where your daughter can thrive. Today’s dads are raising confident, empowered daughters who believe they can achieve anything. But the world is still profoundly unequal, with workplaces built by men, a massive gender pay gap, and deeply-ingrained gender stereotypes. Dads For Daughters: How Fathers Can Give Girls a Better, Brighter, Fairer Future offers fathers guidance for building a more equal world for their daughters.
Invest in your daughter’s future. Inspired by their daughters, dads are uniquely positioned to become powerful allies for girls and women. That's where Dads for Daughters can help. Dads for Daughters is a feminist book for fathers invested in the gender equality fight.
Lean In for dads. There are so many ways that Dads of Daughters can make a difference—from mentoring women to equalizing pay, from sports fields to science labs, from building empathy to combating gender bias, from boardrooms to ballot boxes. With every small step, dads have the power to make incredible change for our next generation of girls. Dads For Daughters also offers women a guide for recruiting men into action. Together, we can give all our daughters a happier, more successful future.

- Concrete strategies for creating a better tomorrow for the girls and women in your life
