A couple visits a doctor asking to 'create more space' in the woman for intercourse. A doctor finds testicular tissue in a woman with appendicitis, and decides to keep his findings\u003cbr\u003equiet. These are just a few of the three hundred European case histories of people whose sex was doubted during the long nineteenth century that Geertje Mak draws upon in her remarkable new book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow did people deal with such situations? How did they decide to which sex a person should belong? This groundbreaking analysis of clinical case histories shows how sex changed from an outward appearance inscribed in a social body to something to be found deep inside body and self. A fascinating, \u003cbr\u003eeasy to follow, yet sophisticated argument addressing major issues of the history of body, sex, and self, this volume will fit advanced undergraduate courses, while challenging specialists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geertje Mak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719089978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeertje Mak is Assistant Professor at the Institute for Gender Studies and the History Department of the Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40104777646195,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c0a1fcfe-8e89-4a54-b650-45a7b2e457dd.jpg?v=1653230152","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/doubting-sex-inscriptions-bodies-and-selves-in-nineteenth-century-hermaphrodite-case-histories-9780719089978","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
