Social scientists understand that masculinity is not a fixed set of characteristics possessed by men, but rather a social construct -- ideas about men that people in a particular culture agree on. Using autobiographical material from 19th century white, middle-class American men, Rotundo illuminates how thinking about what a man is and what his role in life is has radically changed over the course of 100 years. This book also shows the roots of current American ideas about masculinity.
