Title: Excellent Critical Work on Gender
Review: Though it is part of a larger assortment of resources now, when this book of critical thought was released very little work had been done in the arena of analyzing the masculine female. The collected articles draw on a range of popular culture sources- books, film, tv, and art. It can be a dense read at times, but anyone with a background in gender or queer theory should recognize some of her reference material. I also found that occasionally Halberstam drifted into the realm of sweeping generalization about masculine females that seemed unsupported. All in all, a thought-provoking read on the masculine female as depicted in popular culture and what it means to society when a female has male privilege.
