Early modern European thought held that men and women were
essentially the same, with social forces creating their
differences. Such a view made the existence of hermaphrodites easy
to accept. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal
arguments began to turn against this 'one-sex' model, with
hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces
this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought
in northern Europe, and with concurrent ideas in Latin America.
