Gender: pathways and dialogues between feminist and biomedical studies from the 1950s to 1970s
Abstract Despite the importance of the concept of gender for feminist studies, its use and meaning in biomedical research on intersexuality during the 1950s has been little problematized in the national feminist literature.

From this analysis we identified at least three different modalities of definitions, which varied both in the re...
