"-- Choice Fifteen women who have to varying degrees rejectedtraditional femininity, but not their femaleness, discuss their lives with Devor.These women, sometimes mistaken for men, choose to minimize their femalevulnerability in a patriarchal world by minimizing their femininity.
Gender Blending offers a deeper appreciation of the social construction of gender. Any woman who has questioned the value of the concept of femininity will find the experiences of these gender blending females revealing and important to view of woman's place in patriarchy.
