Reviews

  • Rethinking Masculinity represents precisely the kind of intellectually provocative and constructive engagement with feminism that is so sorely needed among men.

    Cheng Chen, University of Southern California

  • . . . fascinating . . . demonstrates incisively that feminist philosophy is no longer by, about, or even for women only.

    Alison M. Jaggar, University of Colorado, Boulder
