More about the book
Focusing on the concept of female masculinity, the book challenges the traditional notions of male masculinity by presenting it as a rich alternative that has existed for over two centuries. Halberstam explores how female masculinity serves as a dynamic expression of hybrid and minority genders, rather than a mere imitation of male virility. The work highlights a spectrum of gender expressions, tracing the evolution from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to modern drag king performances, showcasing the vibrancy and diversity of these identities.
