Demonstrating how female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders, Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances.</p><p>Through detailed textual readings as well as empirical research, Halberstam uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities while arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that would incorporate rather than pathologize them. He rereads Anne Listers diaries and Radclyffe Halls <em>The Well of Loneliness</em> as foundational assertions of female masculine identity; considers the enigma of the stone butch and the politics surrounding butch/femme roles within lesbian communities; and explores issues of transsexuality among transgender dykeslesbians who pass as menand female-to-male transsexuals who may find the label of lesbian a temporary refuge. Halberstam also tackles such topics as women and boxing, butches in Hollywood and independent cinema, and the phenomenon of male impersonators.</p><p>Featuring a new preface by the author, this twentieth anniversary edition of <em>Female Masculinity</em> remains as insightful, timely, and necessary as ever.</p>...4152677Female Masculinity442614https://www.gandhi.com.mx/female-masculinity-9781478002703/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2930801/7a945072-f3ad-42e9-b854-12714c6af069.jpg?v=638384645163900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199781478002703_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9781478002703_<p>In this quintessential work of queer theory, Jack Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two centuries.
