Review Quotes:
Yes Boys Can! is exactly the kind of resource I have long been hoping for. While girls have benefitted from decades of leadership from women who have broken though many "glass ceilings," entering professions unheard of 50 years ago, there has been very little role modeling for boys that departs from the "Man Box" of the tired old restrictive norms for masculinity. Breaking free of these norms, the HEAL (Health, Education, Arts and Literacy) professions offer respected well-paying careers for males. Yes Boys Can! provides portraits of 50 men in such professions as nurse, teacher, dancer, visual artist, and even floral designer.
