Men's entrance into gender studies: contributions of an historical subject

Abstract

This article presents concepts and questions of gender that were proposed by men who were present at the moment that feminism reappeared in central countries in the 1960s, and who participated in men's groups in the 1970s. Situated as subjects of knowledge/of gender in the context of the critical debates that were widely-disseminated at that time, they adopted a dialectical and historical view of social reality, making contributions that helped de-construct the binary focus which had prevailed up till that point.
