WORK IN PROGRESS
Book
The Invention of the Sexes: Debating Sex and Gender in Eighteenth-Century Spain
This book examines how medical controversies over individuals with ambiguous
sexual and gender traits challenged early modern Spanish notions of sex and
gender. After 1700, medical discoveries held the promise of resolving all
mysteries about sex formation and establishing once and for all a clear-cut
distinction between males and females. Yet, despite the euphoria of surgeons and
anatomists, their discoveries failed to answer questions such as, why some men
with “perfect” sexual organs acted like women, or why some women capable of
giving birth looked like men. I argue that these unusual cases challenged a strictly
medical explanation of sexuality, and led to debates about legal, philosophical,
and social definitions of man and woman that still resonate on current feminist
literature about sex, gender, and sexual identity.
