Eighteenth-century debates continue to set the terms of modern day
discussions on how 'nature and nurture' shape sex and gender.
Current dialogues - from the tension between 'real' and 'ideal'
bodies, to how nature and society shape sexual difference - date
back to the early modern period. Debating Sex and Gender is an
innovative study of the creation of a two-sex model of human
sexuality based on different genitalia within Spain, reflecting the
enlightened quest to promote social reproduction and stability.
Drawing on primary sources such as medical treatises and legal
literature, Vicente traces the lives of individuals whose ambiguous
sex and gender made them examples for physicians, legislators and
educators for how nature, family upbringing, education, and the
social environment shaped an individual's sex. This book brings
together insights from the histories of sexuality, medicine and the
law to shed new light on this timely and important field of study.
