"Gutmann has done the hithertofore seemingly unthinkable. [A] wholly other vision of Mexican gender relations emerges." - Jose Limon, American Anthropologist "This book does for the study of men what two generations of feminist anthropologists have done for the study of women." - Lynn Stephen, author of Zapotec Women"
