How Sex Changed

by Joanne J. Meyerowitz

"How Sex Changed is a fascinating social, cultural, and medical history of transsexuality in the United States. Joanne Meyerowitz tells a powerful human story about people who have a deep and unshakable desire to transform their bodily sex. Over the past century, when many challenged the social categories and hierarchies of race, class, and gender, transsexuals questioned biological sex itself, the category that seemed most fundamental and fixed of all."--BOOK JACKET.
