Rezensionen

"Studying Men and Masculinities [...] provides a highly accessible introduction to the developing pro-feminist field of critical masculinities studies, which is fortunately being increasingly welcome by Women's and Gender Studies programs at universities."

- Mostafa Abedinifard, University of Alberta, Comparative Literature Program, in The Journal of Men's Studies
