Although the histological typing of ovarian tumours is the focus of
this volume, other aspects of investigation of a specimen of
ovarian tumour are also important. Some of these aspects are
mentioned in the text or illustrated. They include tumour grading,
which is impor- tantprognostically and therapeutically for certain
types ofovarian tu- mour, quantification ofcomponents in mixed
tumours and evaluation of the stroma of certain tumours that are
associated with endocrine function. Grading methodologies have
varied from one tumour type to another and from one group of
investigators to another for the same type of tumour. Because a
standard internationally recognized grading methodology has not
been established, no specific guidance is presented in this volume.
Nevertheless, grading by any generally acceptable method should be
incorporated in the diagnosis whenever appropriate. The clinical
and pathological classification of the extent of tu- mour growth
(staging) should be taken into account for the purposes of
treatment and prognosis. The TNlV1/FIGO system is therefore in-
cluded (p. 45). Histological Classification of Ovarian Tumours 1

First published in 1932, A Scarlet Pansy is an extraordinarily
vivid and richly textured depiction of American queer life in the
early twentieth century, tracing the coming-of-age of androgynous
Fay Etrange. Born in small-town Pennsylvania and struggling with
her difference, Fay eventually accepts her gender and sexual
nonconformity and immerses herself in the fairy subculture of New
York City. A self-proclaimed "oncer"-never tricking with same man
twice-she immerses herself in the nightclubs, theaters, and street
life of the city, cavorting with kindred spirits including female
impersonators, streetwalkers, and hustlers as well as other fairies
and connoisseurs of rough trade. While reveling in these exploits
she becomes a successful banker and later attends medical school,
where she receives training in obstetrics. There she also develops
her life's ambition to find a cure for gonorrhea, a disease
supposedly "fastened on mankind as a penalty for enjoying love." A
Scarlet Pansy stands apart from similar fiction of its time-as well
as that of the ensuing decades-by celebrating rather than
pathologizing its effeminate and sexually adventurous protagonist.
In this edition, republished for the first time in its original
unexpurgated form, Robert J. Corber examines the way in which it
flew in the face of other literature of the time in its treatment
of gender expression and same-sex desire. He places the novel
squarely within its social and cultural context of nearly a century
ago while taking into account the book's checkered publication
history as well as the question of the novel's unknown author. Much
more than cultural artifact, A Scarlet Pansy remains a uniquely
delightful and penetrating work of literature, resonating as much
with present-day culture as it is illuminating of our understanding
of queer history and challenging our notions of what makes a man a
woman, and vice-versa.
A book for children or those young at heart about a bear and his
search for where he belongs. Along the way he encounters a fox, a
mole, a goat and a duck who keep him moving to finally discover
where he is most at home.
