Masculinities Without Men?

Masculinities Without Men?

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 transgender and transsexual masculinity began to emerge as a unique category in late twentieth-century fiction, distinct from lesbian or female masculinity.
