Masculinities Without Men?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masculinities without Men? (ISBN 0-7748-0997-3) is a book by Jean Bobby Noble.
Noble explores how the construction of gender was thrown into crisis during the twentieth-century, resulting in a permanent rupture in the sex/gender system, and how masculinity became an unstable category, altered across time, region, social class, and ethnicity. Noble demonstrates that transgendered and transsexual masculinity began to emerge as a unique category in late twentieth-century fiction, distinct from lesbian or female masculinity.
