Ekins, Richard
..."among the best in recent literature....highly
informative....Elkins offers a major new theoretical approach."
-"Transformation
..."the book is worth reading. Ekins has selected vivid cases of
gender arrangements and encourages readers to think about them in
the broadest possible way."
-"American Journal of Sociology
"The author's theory of "male femaling" is surely quite original
and challenges simplistic or one-dimensional views of the formation

of behaviors. Etkins makes a valuable contribution to understanding
gender as performance...."
