Warren Farrell (born June 26, 1943) is an American educator, activist and author of seven books on men's and women's issues.
He came to prominence in the 1970s as one of the most vocal men championing the cause of second wave feminism, and serving in the New York City leadership of the National Organization of Women (NOW). However, when NOW took policy positions that Farrell regarded as anti-male and anti-father, the emphasis of his career and scholarship shifted drastically and he is now recognized as one of the most important figures in the modern men's movement.
His books cover twelve fields: history, law, sociology and politics (The Myth of Male Power); couples’ communication (Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say); economic and career issues (Why Men Earn More); child psychology and child custody (Father and Child Reunion); and teenage to adult psychology and socialization (Why Men Are the Way they Are and The Liberated Man). All of his books are related to men's and women studies; consistent to his books since the early 90's has been a call for a gender transition movement.

Famous quotes containing the word warren:
“The oaks, how subtle and marine!
Bearded, and all the layered light
Above them swims; and thus the scene,
Recessed, awaits the positive night.”
