The relationship between U.S. masculinity and American feminist movements of the twentieth century is complex. The essays collected in Screening Images of American Masculinity in the AgeofPostfeminism engage prominent film and television texts that directly interrogate images of U.S. masculinity that have appeared since second-wave feminism, acknowledging the limits of their negotiations and self-actualization. This book covers a wide range of genres and decades: from action and fantasy to dramas and romantic comedy, from the late 1970s to today.
