Description

In the course of several centuries, Western masculinity has established itself as the voice of reason, knowledge, and sanity—the basis for patriarchal rule—in the face of massive testimony to the contrary. Micale challenges this triumphant vision by examining the central role played by modern science and medicine in constructing and sustaining it.
