Hermaphrodites and the Medical Invention of Sex
Alice Domurat Dreger
Punctuated with remarkable case studies, this book explores extraordinary encounters between hermaphrodites and the medical and scientific professionals who grappled with them in late 19th-century France and England. It takes us inside the doctors’ chambers to see how and why medical and scientific men constructed sex, gender, and sexuality.
