Masculinities: “A brilliantly illustrated guide to prominent masculine-presenting artists, scientists, and activists.” - Kirkus Reviews
"Very excited about this new book! So many epic butch and masc icons included." Sinclair Sexsmith from Sugarbutch
"Avery Cassell has assembled a glorious diversity of butches, bulldaggers, and bois who create a rainbow of beautiful masculinity. Each biography is approached with reverence and warmth while at the same time injecting a hearty dose of humor and approachability. It’s refreshing to see such a variety of expression and a celebration of women’s and non-binary masculinity in a world that tells us that the masculine is a closed domain. The illustrations by all the artists sing on the page and bring each subject to life. A wonderful mix of butch icons past and those leading the charge, Masculinities will introduce you to a whole cast of queer heroes." - Leigh Pfeffer, History is Gay Podcast

5 out of 5 starsThis is the coloring book of my dreams! The selection of people featured in the book is so thoughtful and diverse. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I love reading each person’s story before coloring in the portrait of them. The process makes me feel so much closer to lesbian history and leaves me with a profound sense of pride for my community. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the creators of this book! It fills me with so much joy!

Thank you for your review! I chose and wrote about the incredible folks in this book. I’m so happy to hear that you appreciated the diversity, the biographical vignettes, and the amazing illustrations. If you liked this one, you would also love my latest book, Masculinities: boi * bulldagger * butch * masc * MOC * soft butch * stud * tomboy * transmasc.
