Description

Female Masculinity by Jack Halberstam is a groundbreaking work of queer theory that challenges traditional notions of male masculinity. The author explores the concept of female masculinity, revealing its history and diversity through detailed textual readings and empirical research.

Halberstam examines various forms of gender expression among masculine women, from 19th-century practices to contemporary drag king performances. He uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that incorporate rather than pathologize them.

This twentieth anniversary edition features a new preface by the author, ensuring that this insightful and timely work remains relevant today.
