Manhood in America is the gold standard for a broad-ranging cultural history of masculinity. It is a must-read in the study of masculinities.

Lauren Weis, American University

I love how the book is at once a study of masculinity and American culture. Manhood in America is an excellent resource for students who need historical and social grounding in order to make sense of the idea that gender, along with other human attributes of identity, are dependent on contextual definitions. It is a true wealth of information.

Joyce Janca-Aji, Coe College

This is the most comprehensive critical history of American masculinity in print. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a solid grounding in the field.

Christopher E. Forth, University of Kansas

For more than three decades, the women's movement and its scholars have exhaustively studied women's complex history, roles, and struggles. In Manhood in America: A Cultural History, Fourth Edition, author Michael Kimmel argues that it is time for men to rediscover their own evolution. Drawing on a myriad of sources, he demonstrates that American men have been eternally frustrated by their efforts to keep up with constantly changing standards. Kimmel contends that men must follow the lead of the women's movement; it is only by mining their past for its best qualities and worst excesses that men will free themselves from the constraints of the masculine ideal.
