Overview
Drawing on remarkable case studies, scholar Alice Dreger explores encounters between hermaphrodites--people born with "ambiguous" sexual anatomy--and the medical profession of late 19th-century Britain and France. Comparing protocols applied today in similar situations, this meticulously researced book will compel the attention of anyone interested in the meanings and foundations of sexual identity. 24 photos.
