This collection investigates how Australian men have navigated personal identity, emotional expression, and societal roles in the wake of two decades of feminist progress. Author Jan Bowen utilizes a series of structured interviews to capture the perspectives of fourteen prominent Australian men from diverse professional backgrounds. By documenting their reflections on life, love, and changing gender dynamics, the book provides a snapshot of masculinity in the mid-1990s.

The text serves as a historical document of mid-1990s Australian social discourse, offering a focused look at how public figures processed changing gender norms. Its value lies in the specific, candid testimonies provided by the subjects, which offer a grounded perspective on the era's evolving cultural landscape.
