First published in 1991, The Achilles Heel Reader brings together
key articles from Achilles Heel, the path-breaking and influential
magazine of men's sexual politics. It also includes an important
introduction by the editor, setting the magazine in its
intellectual and historical context. Achilles Heel, first published
in 1978, was a magazine which explored positive conceptions of
masculinity and the ways in which men can change in response to the
challenge of feminism. It sought to persuade men to take
responsibility for the power they share as men in relation to women
- and to use this responsibility both in their personal
relationships and in challenging the political and social
institutions and practices that embody such power. This selection
covers crucial issues in men's lives - work, sexuality, children,
relationships, family, class, sharing the experience of different
masculinities - and brilliantly catches the tensions and anxieties
of men trying to cope with the interplay between their sexuality
and their political commitments. By bringing the personal and the
political together The Achilles Heel Reader reconsiders basic
questions of socialist theory and practice. It will be of great
value to students of sociology, women's studies, politics and
cultural studies, as well as those interested in feminism as part
of a process of reworking socialism.
