Female Masculinity by J. Jack Halberstam
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
A very important and groundbreaking study on the subject of gender theory and queer masculinities.
Halbertsam makes many interesting points tracking the history of (predominantly) lesbian masculinity from Ann Lister until the 1990s. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the butch in cinema. I have reached for individual chapters through my academic career and am sure I will continue to refer back to this again.
