"Avery Cassell has assembled a glorious diversity of butches, bulldaggers, and bois who create a rainbow of beautiful masculinity. Each biography is approached with reverence and warmth while at the same time injecting a hearty dose of humor and approachability. It’s refreshing to see such a variety of expression and a celebration of women’s and non-binary masculinity in a world that tells us that the masculine is a closed domain. The illustrations by all the artists sing on the page and bring each subject to life. A wonderful mix of butch icons past and those leading the charge, Masculinities will introduce you to a whole cast of queer heroes." - Leigh Pfeffer, History is Gay Podcast
"Masculinities explores the “glorious galaxy of masculinity” through 40 loving, meticulously researched portrayals of masculine presenting women, bois, butches, studs, tomboys, MOC (masculine of center), and transmasc people. The anthology includes several famous masculine presenting women, including Brittany Griner and Del Martin, but the real gems in Masculinities are the moving, passionate life histories of regular bulldaggers and butches who are boldly carving out gender expansive spaces. So, sit back with a pack of colored pencils and enjoy." - Dr. Sarah Rainey-Smithback, Director of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Bowling Green State University
