"This pathbreaking volume is an invaluable resource for social scientists, students, and practitioners interested in understanding how masculinity influences politics. McDermott and Cassino have brought together compelling studies employing a wide range of approaches to document the multitude of ways that masculinity, in its various forms and complexity, pervades almost all aspects of American politics." ~Susan J. Carroll, author of A Seat at the Table: Congresswomen’s Perspectives on Why Their Presence Matters (Oxford 2018)
