Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Callahan does a good job of exploring intersex individuals, who are neither male nor female, and argues that they need to be accepted for what they are and not viewed as defective.” —
Publishers Weekly“Callahan’s writing style is both accessible and engaging; it reads more like creative non-fiction, a la Malcolm Gladwell.” —
Ms. Magazine“Immunologist Callahan takes a fascinating look at the biology and human experience of intersexuality, a state in between male and female.” —
Discover Magazine“The book is really beautifully written, highly accessible, and visionary in its own right.” —
Feministing“There are lots of interesting nuggets here–for example, Callahan’s description of biological sex as a spectrum, not a binary system.” —
Double X“This is a fascinating, easily understandable journey into why we are born male or female and examines our age-old obsession with sex.” —
