Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book draws upon anthropology, feminism and postmodernism to offer a penetrating and challenging study of how gender operates. The book offers a radical critique of much of the recent writing on and by men and raises important questions about emodiment, agency and the variety of masculine styles.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [214]-230) and index.
