Tough Gynes: Violent Women in Film as Honorary Men - Paperback
by Stan Goff (Author)
In Borderline, Stan Goff unpacked the association of masculinity with war. In Tough Gynes, using an incisive and often darkly humorous study of nine films featuring violent female leads, he untangles the confusion about "masculinity constructed as violence" when our popular stories feature women as violent protagonists. Whether read individually or with a group, Tough Gynes raises compelling questions about gender and violence, with a few provisional answers. Plus, you get to watch movies as you read it.
Stan Goff is a profeminist Roman Catholic writer living in southeast Michigan. He is the author of Borderline: Reflections on War, Sex, and Church (Cascade Books, 2015) and Mammon's Ecololgy: Metaphysic of an Empty Sign (Cascade Books, 2018).
