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.
