Abstract

Abstract I have mentioned, in my introductory chapter, the feminist practice of ‘consciousness-raising’, and have suggested its significance for men. In this final chapter I want to examine this suggestion, in the light of my experience as a member of a men’s group. I want to argue that the experience of masculinity, in its social dimensions and historical shifts, can be clarified within a consciousness-raising group. The small group, ideally, provides a bridge between (often inarticulate, undefined) personal experience, and a collective, social context in which it is shared and can be analysed.
