Alternative Masculinities in Feminist Speculative Fiction

A New Man

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates how feminist utopias are united by an interest in replacing patriarchal masculinities with an improved, egalitarian alternative. It analyzes the centrality of such alternative masculinities to the ideal society and the ways feminist fiction contributes to discussions surrounding the ongoing crisis of American masculinity.
