- Description
- As contemporary Native and non-Native Americans explore various forms of 'gender bending' and gay and lesbian identities, interest has grown in 'berdaches,' the womanly men and manly women who existed in many Native American tribal cultures. Yet attempts to find current role models in these historical figures sometimes distort and oversimplify the historical realities. .This book provides a comprehensive study of Native American women-men and men-women across many tribal cultures and an extended time span. Sabine Lang explores such topics as their religious and secular roles: the relation of the roles of women-men and men-women to the roles of women and men in their respective societies: the ways in which gender-role change was carried out, legitimized, and explained in Native American cultures: the widely differing attitudes toward women-men and men-women in tribal cultures: and the role of these figures in Native mythology. Lang's findings challenge the apparent gender equality of the 'berdache' institution, as well as the supposed universality of concepts such as homosexuality.

- Description
- Journalist Seligson a self-avowedly well-endowed woman, wittily recounts her experiences as she anecdotally examines 'what breasts mean to their bearers as well as their beholders.' Assessing an abundant lexicon of breast slang, Seligson ponders the role of breasts as the marker of femininity, conversing with women of all ages about how their breast size affects their daily life and self-image. Seligson reveals industry scams and discusses the psychology, ethics and cultural implications of implant consumerism with leading plastic surgeons and media scholars. Concluding with cross-dressers and their removable breasts, the author proclaims herself at peace with herself as 'a person who happens to be stacked.'

- Description
- Warlike women are a recurring phenomenon in German literature and culture since 1500. Amazons, terrorists, warrior women : this volume of essays analyzes ideas and portrayals of these figures in the visual arts, society, media, and scholarship, always against the backdrop of Germany's development as a culture and as a nation. The contributors look for patterns in the historical portrayal of warlike women, asking the questions: What cultural signals are sent when women are shown occupying men's spaces by dressing as warriors or in men's clothing? What can legitimize the woman who bears arms? From what is the erotic potential of images linking women and violence derived?

- Description
- This publication takes note of a proliferation of phallic feminine figures in disparate North American and European texts from the end of the nineteenth century onward. Brooks takes up the textual figure of the phallic woman where Freud locates it, in the imagined mother that the little boy, in fantasy, credits with a penis of her own. It traces this phallic-woman motif backward to the sexological case study, and forward to newspaper accounts of testosterone-taking third-sexers. Brooks examines both high and low literature, pornography, postmodern theory, and writing that would seem to answer Lacan's injunction to move 'beyond the phallus'.
