"[An] enormously rich volume . . . The wealth of this volume comes from the inclusion of cross-cultural work, literary-critical trends, analyses of masculinity, offerings from gay and lesbian perspectives, family and clinical studies--thirty-two papers in all. . . . A review of this book cannot do it justice. . . . [R]eading this multidimensional book makes one envision a marvelous common ground between feminists and phenomenologists." -- Journal of Phenomenological Psychology
