Delvaux lays bare the brazen misogyny of boys' clubs across many fields, including politics, entertainment, technology, law enforcement, architecture, and the military. Examining popular media produced by men about men, \u003cem\u003eThe Boys' Club\u003c\/em\u003e exposes a culture of consumption which profits off female experiences while disregarding female voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Boys' Club\u003c\/em\u003e is both an activist text and a work of cultural scholarship deeply informed by Delvaux's long engagement with the work of feminist scholars, film critics, historians, writers, and journalists. Identifying a pattern of contempt, exclusion, and patriarchal violence, Delvaux names misogyny's circular, self-propagating systems, undermining social, cultural, economic, and political mechanisms in order to break up the boys' club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovelist and essayist Martine Delvaux is a central figure in Qu?bec literary feminism.
