SamenvattingThe book examines how doctors in Spain conceptualized persons believed to be a mix of male and female during the period 1850–1960, within an increasingly medicalised environment. Spanish scientists actively engaged with imported theories, elaborating local understandings of their own making. The authors examine how growing interest in hermaphroditism reflected social anxieties about shifting gender roles and the increasing visibility of “sexual deviances” such as homosexuality. They emphasize discontinuities between and co-existences of different theories.
