In this third edition, the author brings his analysis of 20th-century gender history up to date. He describes the new men's movements of the 1980s and 1990s, ranging from pro-feminist to anti-feminist. He expands his discussion of the gay and lesbian experience, especially in the years since AIDS. He assesses the women's movement, weighing both its achievements and the anti-feminist reactions of the past quarter century. Finally he enlarges the conceptual scope of the book, focusing not only on social roles of men and women but also on their dynamic sense of identity - of self in historical time.
