Since reading this book about 6 years ago I've looked in every bookstore to obtain my own copy without success. I found this book to be quite enlightening with respect to why males think and behave differently to women and the critical role females play in understanding these differences thus creating more effective and fulfilling relationships. I think it can also assist some males in better understanding themselves.

I first read this book 20+ years ago in anticipation of my second marriage. It was not around for my first marriage but I wonder how things might have been different, had I known some of the information in this book.

I am just getting ready to give my copy to a niece getting married, as well as celebrating our own 20th anniversary. There's some good, practical and useful reading here.

This book is obviously slanted toward women, but it applies to men as well. I am a minister, and the section about questions to ask each other BEFORE you get married are a great counseling tool. Everyone should read this and answer those questions before they get married.

First published in 1983, What Every Woman Should Know About Men explains to women how, and why, men are different. Written primarily for single and married women over twenty five, Brothers is a source for understanding evolving thoughts and beliefs on male and female differences.

Brother's strongly implies that many of the characteristics of men are universal. She also implies the same about the nature of women. Although Dr. Brothers addresses individualistic male and female characteristics, it is frequently a passing thought. There are clearly some generalities about the nature of men and women that need to be explored, but focusing on these characteristics without adequately addressing the wide array of individuality of men and women is a deficiency of this book.
