«XY, de l'identité masculine» is the essay by Elisabeth Badinter, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The feminist movement has thrown traditional ideas about virility and femininity into crisis. Masculinity, which seemed natural, is no longer defined by the chromosomal formula XY: men are questioning their identity. Badinter moves beyond the dispute between feminism and machismo and sketches the new man who stops repressing an essential part of himself.
Originally published in 1992, this essay addresses the social construction of masculinity from the philosophy and sociology of gender. The paperback edition is from Le Livre de Poche.
A work of interest for readers of philosophy, gender studies and sociology, as well as for those who want to understand the debate on masculinity.
Élisabeth Badinter is a French philosopher, author and historian.
