This book charts her personal journey as a male-to-female cross-dresser in the ever-changing world of gender politics. Interweaving the personal and the political, through discussions of fetishism, aesthetics and popular culture, Man-Made Woman explores gender, identity and pleasure through the lenses of feminism, Marxism and psychoanalytic theory. Cremin's anti-moralistic approach dismantles the abjection associated with male-to-female cross dressing, examining the causes of its repression, and considers what it means to publicly materialise desire on her body. Emancipatory and empowering: Cremin interrogates her, his and our relationship to the gender binary. Man-Made Woman is an experiment in thought and practice through which both author and reader are drawn ultimately into a conflict with our material, ideological and libidinal relationship to patriarchal-capitalism. 600 10 $a Cremin, Colin. 650 0 $a Cross-dressers $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cross-dressing. 650 0 $a Gender identity. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220105015439.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2611C25ED98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
