Feminist Fathering/Fathering Feminists is a collection that interrogates several things at once. First, we have had to struggle with basic definitions.

Fathering in all its guises is in the process of transformation, as fathers are both more involved with their families than before, but also still largely considered inferior to mothers in most ways. The essays in this collection explore the underexamined and contested category ?father? from an intersectional feminist perspective. Contributors ask: What is a father? What does fathering look like? Several themes emerge in the collection, and one of them is the possibility found in transgression. If we look outside of the mainstream, to people bucking the status quo, we will often have a better chance of finding models of feminist fathering that should be held up and emulated.
