Beschreibung:
Novelist and essayist Martine Delvaux is a central figure in Québec literary feminism. She is the author of five novels, including Thelma, Louise & moi, which was shortlisted for the Prix des libraires, and nine books of non-fiction, the most recent of which is Pompières et pyromanes. Le boys club won the Grand prix du livre de Montréal. Five of Delvaux's works have been translated into English, including Blanc dehors, translated as White Out by Katia Grubisic.
Acclaimed Québec 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, The Boys' Club 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'. The Boys' Club exposes a culture of consumption which profits off the female experience while disregarding the female voice.
