But the changes that occur during that transformation aren't just physical; they are psychological as well. Unremarkable men become domineering leaders. Innocuous men become violent and overtly sexual. In films from \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf Man\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAn American Werewolf in London\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eGinger Snaps, \u003c\/i\u003e when the protagonists become werewolves, their perceptions of their gender and their masculinity or femininity change dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This volume explores how werewolves in cinema have provided an avenue for frank and often enlightening conversations about gender roles and masculinity.
