It’s an age-old question: What makes a man? Americans have
thought about it for generations. So this week on BackStory, we
go back into the archives to look at past segments that explore
the changing perceptions of American manhood. We’ll look at why
so many men started growing beards in 19th century America, and
we’ll explore how ideas about the perfect male body used to be
very different from what you might think of today.
