Alternative Masculinities in Feminist Speculative Fiction: A New
Man traces efforts within contemporary American feminist utopias to
imagine healthier conceptions of manhood. As this analysis
illuminates, feminist works envisioning the improved society and
its attending masculinities make up an overlooked site for mining
new masculinities. During the years in which such utopias moved
from the margins to the mainstream, the early 1970s to the
mid-2010s, these novels grew more complex, challenging essentialist
conceptions of masculinity and female experience. As this analysis
demonstrates, these texts vary in their focus, but are united by an
interest in transforming patriarchal masculinities and replacing
them with an alternative informed by second wave and intersectional
feminism. This book analyzes the centrality of such alternative
masculinities to these ideal societies and the ways feminist
writers present in their fiction new conceptions of manhood pivotal
to discussions surrounding the ongoing crisis of American
masculinity.
