Subject: Re: Less definite sexes


Dear Don,

Something else that comes to mind and might be of interest to you is 

Michel Foucault's _Herculine Barbin, Being the Recently Discovered Memoirs
of a Nineteenth Century Hermaphrodite_ trans. Richard McDongall (New York:
Colophon, 1980)

Judith Butler talks about this work in 

_Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity_ (New York and
London: Routledge, 1990)

Hope this is useful.

Cheers,
Jo.
