About this title: Feminist philosopher Elisabeth Badinter seeks to define manhood at a time when sex-role distinctions have become increasingly ambiguous, and when age-old stereotypes about masculinity have been shattered. Drawing on biological examples, historical and sociological analyses, fiction, and biography, Badinter offers an account of the "new man"our century is in the process of inventing.
