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