Reviews
“Theoretically novel and conceptually sophisticated, Elliott is exemplary in her offering of a combination of sympathy and critical engagement. This text provides a genuinely meaningful advance for, and challenge to, the field, convincingly arguing it’s very much time to move beyond the notion that privileged men are the vanguards of progressive change in respect of contemporary masculinities.” — Steven Roberts, Monash University, Australia
