Masculine Power and Gender Equality: Masculinities as Change Agents

This book explores how political institutions can challenge dominant and normative masculinities, guiding thinking instead toward a transformation of gendered power structures and general equality.  Representing a range of relevant areas, the expert chapter authors provide various methodological and theoretical approaches applied to shifting gender meanings in cultural, national, and social contexts.  Authors also represent a variety of cultures, contributing to the multi-perspective debate about how best to achieve gender equality in the real world.
