Review
"Using a holistic approach based on a historical and contextual analysis of myth and social structure in Western societies, Blazina challenges the idea that 'masculinity' is a given, a constant, a universal set of behaviors that vary not over time or by culture, and shows how ideals of masculinity evolve. This book is a must read for any serious student of gender." - Ronald F. Levant, Ed.D., A.B.P.P. Co-Editor, A New Psychology of Men
