Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality

by Anne Fausto-Sterling

Fausto-Sterling's earlier work, MYTHS OF GENDER, has become a standard text in women's studies courses.

By Vidit, San Diego, CA

"I was excited to see a feminist acknowledge biological differences between men and women (that one's for you, Tavis). This was a good premise and starting point. However, I had mixed feelings about the book. While it's a good read for those interested in biological issues of sexuality and gender, I found Fausto-Sterling's appeal to a gender-free utopia a bit strange, idealistic, and obscure.

While there are probably manner varieties of gender, and individuals should have a much greater degree of sexual freedom, it's also important to address the fundamentally embedded psychological, social, and institutional issues concerning gender. While this may not have been her focus, she definitely lost my interest by not delving deeper into these issues."

"I've read this book about two or three times now and every time it blows me away! Brilliant, insightful, clever, and overwhelmingly important to the study of gender, sexuality, biology, and human development. And a good read on top of it all!"

By Libby, San Francisco, CA

"INCREDIBLE BOOK! Possibly the best reason I went back to grad school. Fausto-Sterling takes a critical look at how science and scientific "fact" is socially constructed, and applies this argument to the narrow understanding of sex and gender by the medical community. A biologist and sexuality theorist, Fausto-Sterling brings together excellent insight into the much-too-easily accepted two-gender system, and breaks down intersexuality in a fascinating way."
