How are culturally constructed stereotypes about appropriate
sex-based behavior formed? If a person who is biologically female
behaves in a stereotypically masculine manner, what are the social,
political, and cultural forces that may police her behavior? And
how will she manage her gendered image in response to that
policing? Finally, how do race, ethnicity, or sexuality inform the
way that sex-based roles are constructed, policed, or managed? The
chapters in this book address such questions from social science
perspectives and then examine personal stories of reinvention and
transformation, including discussions of the lives of dancers
Isadora Duncan and Bill T. Jones, playwright Lorraine Hansberry,
and surrealist artist Claude Cahun.Writers from fields as diverse
as history, art, psychology, law, literature, sociology, and the
activist community look at gender nonconformity from conceptual,
theoretical, and empirical perspectives. They emphasize that gender
nonconformists can be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or
anyone else who does not fit a model of Caucasian heterosexual
behavior characterized by binary masculine and feminine roles.
