{"product_id":"the-boys-club-martine-delvaux-9781772016024","title":"The Boys' Club: The Many Worlds of Male Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed Qu饕ec feminist writer Martine Delvaux turns her sharp eye and sharper pen on the brazen misogyny of men in power in every field, including Hollywood, politics, tech, law enforcement, architecture, religion, and the military. In this piercing study of patriarchy, Delvaux points out the deleterious effects of the tunnel vision that results from only seeing and reflecting the male experience. A study of the social impacts of visual media, \u003cem\u003eThe Boys' Club\u003c\/em\u003e looks at the history of gentlemen's clubs and male fraternity on a global scale. Examining popular media produced about men by men, Delvaux seeks to challenge the positioning of women as 'object' and men as 'subject'. \u003cem\u003eThe Boys' Club\u003c\/em\u003e exposes a culture of consumption which profits off the female experience while disregarding the female voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis activist text is also a work of cultural scholarship: \u003cem\u003eThe Boys' Club\u003c\/em\u003e is deeply informed by Delvaux's long engagement with the work of feminist scholars, film critics, historians, writers, and journalists. Beyond the gender disparities portrayed in film and television, Delvaux speaks to a pattern of contempt, exclusion, and patriarchal violence. But it is not enough to keep pointing out inequities; by naming misogyny's circular, self-propagating systems, Delvaux undermines the mechanisms of social, cultural, economic, and political machines in order to break up the boys' club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martine Delvaux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772016020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772016024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Talonbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Martine Delvaux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482626515199,"sku":"9781772016024","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c295ca5-7019-4ff9-81a4-99be43da39dc.jpg?v=1715999080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boys-club-martine-delvaux-9781772016024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
