It also includes an important introduction by the editor, setting the magazine in its intellectual and historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAchilles Heel\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1978, was a magazine which explored positive conceptions of masculinity and the ways in which men can change in response to the challenge of feminism. It sought to persuade men to take responsibility for the power they share as men in relation to women - and to use this responsibility both in their personal relationships and in challenging the political and social institutions and practices that embody such power. This selection covers crucial issues in men's lives - work, sexuality, children, relationships, family, class, sharing the experience of different masculinities - and brilliantly catches the tensions and anxieties of men trying to cope with the interplay between their sexuality and their political commitments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy bringing the personal and the political together \u003cem\u003eThe Achilles Heel Reader\u003c\/em\u003e reconsiders basic questions of socialist theory and practice. It will be of great value to students of sociology, women's studies, politics and cultural studies, as well as those interested in feminism as part of a process of reworking socialism. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257490690392,"sku":"9780415590013","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415590013_95c1d0f9-fb4d-4275-a5e1-216b4d989303.jpg?v=1779174938","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/achilles-heel-reader-routledge-revivals","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
