"Kudos to the editors for bringing together such engaging work – including compelling first-person narratives and theoretically- and historically-grounded ethnographic research – that illustrates a range of male femininities in action."

Wendy Simonds, author of Hospital Land USA

"Rigorously and playfully complicating its core concepts, Male Femininities takes a sociological tour through the spaces where male bodies and male subjectivities encounter, embrace, disavow, and inhabit the feminine. Expansive in its empirical and theoretical scope, this book is a must-have for scholars and students of gender studies."

Jane Ward, author of The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

"Male Femininities explores the political potential of gender boundary crossing and encourages readers to see gender as distinct from sex and sexuality. Focusing on what happens when social rules are broken, each chapter reveals the variety of spaces in which gender can look different from what we might expect."

Kristen Barber, author of Styling Masculinity
