Excellent- More about Critical Femininities
Critical Femininities offers a multidimensional framework for re-thinking femininity, challenging the patriarchal view and addressing femmephobia. It explores how femininity can be conceptualized as powerful, how vulnerability can be a form of resistance, and the ideological underpinnings of Critical Femininities as an emergent field. The book provides a launching pad for the growth of a field that seeks to render visible the taken-for-granted presence of masculinity in gender theory.

Critical Femininities offers a comprehensive framework for re-imagining and re-valuing femininity, challenging the traditional perception of it as a patriarchal tool. This book delves into the social, historical, and ideological factors that shape contemporary norms surrounding femininity, particularly those that contribute to femmephobia, the systematic devaluation and regulation of all that is deemed feminine.
In each chapter, the Critical Femininities framework is applied to diverse areas of inquiry, ranging from breastfeeding stigma to Incel ideology, with the aim of addressing pressing questions about the place of femininity within gender and social theory. The book explores how feminine power can be conceptualized, how vulnerability can serve as a powerful mode of resistance, and how femininity can be understood as powerful without succumbing to masculinist frameworks. It also examines the ideological underpinnings that maintain Critical Femininities as an emerging field, despite its traceable origins predating second-wave feminism.
The provocative entries within this volume will undoubtedly raise more questions for those interested in society's treatment of femininity. However, this book serves as a valuable starting point for the further development of a field that fosters insight from a feminine frame of reference to reveal the pervasive presence of masculinity that remains entrenched within gender theory.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Psychology & Sexuality.
