Drawing on biological examples, Badinter offers a highly suggestive account of the new man. Exploring the shifting inscriptions of male identity in the popular imagination, Badinter examines changing role models for masculine identity and suggests the need for new role models which may reduce the profound effects of homophobia and misogyny.A renowned feminist philosopher seeks to define manhood at a time when sex-role distinctions have been increasingly ambiguous. Drawing on biological examples, social analysis, fiction and biography, her work offers a suggestive account of the new man which the 20th century has invented.
