Power was never meant to be shared until it had to be.

Shadows of Power is a sweeping and provocative exploration of how gender roles have shifted over the past four centuries and the consequences we’re still reckoning with. While women have risen in education, leadership, and social influence, men are increasingly left behind struggling in silence with mental health, academic failure, economic instability, and a collapsing sense of purpose. Through a lens sharpened by history, sociology, and cultural insight, Dr. Kevin Brown maps the long arc of male dominance and its steady unraveling. He revisits the forgotten women who defied erasure, the rigid systems that upheld patriarchy, and the urgent crises that now engulf boys and men in today’s society. This is not a story of winners and losers it is a warning, a reflection, and a roadmap. Because the future of any society is not built on the rise of one gender, but on the healing of both.
