Customer Reviews

A worthy read!

This book can be pretty depressing due to its focus on some pretty horrible behavior by certain men. But if you can brace yourself against the unflattering light put on many men in relationships with successful women, it's definitely a worthy read...If you can overlook the really egregious men in the stories, the descriptions of the more normal men and how their expectations in marriage can change over time, especially when married to successful women, could potentially be an eye-opening read. I'd highly recommend it.

A must read!

The first time I read this book it had a white woman on the cover dressed in corporate attire. After reading the first few pages I knew something was up...I checked the back cover, no author photo, hmmmm. I was sure it was written by one of our own, and sure enough, a couple years later when Bebe Moore's Fiction came out I put the name together. No one could tell this truth like a sistah. The written unadulterated truth. Why our men, no matter how often they claim to offer 100% support still are uncomfortable with their women having too much success. Successful Women, Angry Men is a serious must read for every woman, but especially the black woman, who has a legacy of being strong and independent. This book not only identifies the problems that arise out of two income households but also how to subjugate them before they start. Bravo MS. Campbell! And thank you to the publisher for bringing this book out of hiding...now, if we could just get a high powered sistah on the front cover, briefcase in one hand, cell phone in the other, we'd be in business.
