Head Of The Household: Hegemonic Masculinity And The State, Laura B. Wolf Apr 2013

Head Of The Household: Hegemonic Masculinity And The State, Laura B. Wolf

Laura B. Wolf

In this paper, I will attempt to bridge feminist legal scholarship with masculinities scholarship to lay bare the ways in which our patriarchal structure simultaneously oppresses men while subordinating women. My hope is that this connection between the theories will lead to greater coalition-building between men and women to bring about the end of state-sponsored patriarchy.
