A vibrant and feminist rewrite of the rules of chivalry in the spirit of Porn for Women and Men to Avoid in Art and Life.
Tired of bros and do-nothing daddys, sick of misogynistic behavior in the boardroom, and frankly dreading yet another bachelorette party with a stripper, Dalal Khajah and Josephine Wai Lin founded the service company ManServants Inc. What is a ManServant, you ask? The ManServants are "chivalrous gentlemen for nonsexual service," who treat women like queens for a day.
The ManServant Guide to Modern Chivalry is the gift that every woman with a well-intentioned but clueless husband, boyfriend, guy friend, or son should buy for all the women in their life. From doing laundry, carrying shopping bags, cleaning the bathroom, or watching the kids, this book details how men should treat women in the 21st century. Including short essays, tips, and best practices aimed towards helping a budding ManServant please his lady of leisure, this visually intelligent, stylistically bold, and ardently feminist guide is a perfect navigation for men in the post-#MeToo movement world. Dalal Khajah is an entrepreneur, storyteller, cofounder, and CCO of ManServants, Inc. When she isn't transforming ordinary men into dream men, she contributes to Refinery 29; pens a newsletter, Majnoona; and is a brand consultant to start-ups. She splits her time between New York and London.
Josephine Wai Lin is a creative director, entrepreneur, and cofounder/CEO of ManServants. She met her cofounder, Dalal, as an advertising copywriter over a decade ago. Her first book, Whoever You Are, is a baby book on unconditional love and gender. After the pandemic, she left San Francisco for the slow life in Hawaii with her boys-Kyle (the first ManServant trainer ever), sons West and Wolf, and French bulldog Drake.
