"This book highlights diverse perspectives on motherhood, mothering, and masculinities; it fills a gap in the literature as it takes up different masculinities and their relationships to mothers and motherhood. The essays in this volume provide a fascinating look into the many ways that masculinities and motherhood intersect in different social, political, and national contexts."
- Lisa M. Anderson, Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies, School of Social Transformation, Arizona State University
