"Ramet's volume succeeds in achieving its aim--exploring the
cultural diversity of gender reversals over time. The book itself
is well organized and would provide a very useful teaching tool for
gender/cultural studies.lo Lesley J. Gotlib, M.A.."

"A welcome addition to research in the fast-growing field of

different national perspectives."
