Warren Thomas Farrell (born June 26, 1943) is an American political scientist and activist who initially came to prominence in the 1970s as a supporter of second wave feminism. He is the author of nine books on the issues of men, women, fathers, and couples’ communication. He served for three years on the New York City Board of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Farrell advocates for "a gender liberation movement", with "both sexes walking a mile in each other's moccasins".[1]

Farrell's books cover history, law, sociology and politics (The Myth of Male Power);[2] couples' communication (Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say,[3] and Role Mate to Soul Mate);[4] economic and career issues (Why Men Earn More);[5] child psychology and child custody (Father and Child Reunion);[6] and teenage to adult psychology and socialization (Why Men Are The Way They Are,[7] The Liberated Man,[8] and The Boy Crisis).[9]
