"A forceful challenge to the supposition that reproductive health is a woman's domain. This sophisticated multilevel study of how knowledge is made--and not made--about men's reproductive health sets a new agenda for research on gender in medical knowledge."--Sarah Richardson, author of Sex Itself: The Search for Male and Female in the Human Genome

"Professor Almeling carefully documents historic neglect of male reproductive health issues by medical science and the media, and the consequent gaps in how the public understands the connection between a father's health and birth outcomes. A must-read for forward thinkers in the reproductive health community."--Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, President Emerita, March of Dimes

"It takes exceptional skill to account for an absence. In this fascinating investigation, Rene Almeling reveals how the science of men's reproductive health has gone missing in action--and shows just how much that vacuum of knowledge matters, for the lives of people of all genders."--Steven Epstein, author of Inclusion: The Politics of Difference in Medical Research and Impure Science: AIDS, Activism, and the Politics of Knowledge
