Betraying patriarchy? Men and masculinities in 19th- and early 20th-century European feminisms. Transnational networks and individual trajectories of men committed to the womenU+2019s cause. Ghent University

The correlation between the personal and the political is placed at the heart of the gender analysis of male feminist identities, through the study of individual (intellectual) trajectories and transnational networks of a sample of European feminist men.
