Krátky popis
Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of social
convention? In this brilliant and provocative classic, the
distinguished feminist scholar Anne Fausto-Sterling argues that
even the most fundamental knowledge about sex and gender is shaped
by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced. Drawing
on illuminating real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries
of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists
have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned
prose, she breaks down three key dualisms -- sex/gender,
nature/nurture, and real/constructed -- and asserts that intersex
and other non-binary individuals should not be forced to fit flawed
societal definitions of normality.Now with a new preface and final
chapter considering the many scientific and political developments
of the last two decades, Sexing the Body is an indispensable and
revolutionary look at how biology, society, and history together
determine sexual difference.
