A review by autismandniamh
Sexing the Body by Anne Fausto-Sterling

Extremely interesting insights into the way culture and science interconnects to the point where even the binary of biological sex (and other dualisms) can be shown to be somewhat of a "lie" as well as a fiercely protected aspect of life. It felt like Fausto-Sterling's conclusion didn't really...conclude, as such; the ending sort-of fizzled out. However, I largely enjoyed this book despite its reliance on scientific materials due to the relaxed writing style, and the use of illustrations did help make it seem less daunting as well. It's clearly well-researched, as more than half seems to be Notes at the back! A strongly-recommended read, particularly if you are interested in the ethics of the medical, psychological or sociological community with regards to experiments on sexuality and gender.
