Pinks, Pansies, and Punks charts the construction of masculinity
within American literary culture from the 1930s to the 1970s.
Penner documents the emergence of "macho criticism," and explores
how debates about "hard" and "soft" masculinity influenced the
class struggles of the 1930s, anti-communism in the 1940s and
1950s, and the clash between the Old Left and the New Left in the
1960s. By extending literary culture to include not just novels,
plays, and poetry, but diaries, journals, manifestos, screenplays,
and essays on psychology and sociology, Penner unveils the
multiplicity of gender attitudes that emerge in each of the decades
he addresses.
