Bernice L. Hausman is Assistant Professor of English at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia.
"Changing Sex makes a landmark contribution to gender studies and
the understanding of transsexualism. It is thorough and accessible
in its combination of medical analysis, social criticism, and
application of critical theory. It is original and provocative, and
will be controversial in the best sense."—Julia Epstein, Haverford
College
"Building upon earlier critiques of the medical management of
gender, Hausman provides a rich analysis of the significance of
technology on this century’s shift from looking for the "true" sex
to the "best" one. Having tracked down valuable and fascinating
sources, she gives a previously neglected historical perspective on
transsexualism and intersexuality. Gender scholars from every
discipline will find this book important."—Suzanne Kessler,
Purchase College, State University of New York
