Synopsis

The Intermediate Sex: A Study Of Some Transitional Types Of Men And Women is a book written by Edward Carpenter that explores the concept of gender beyond the binary of male and female. Through this book, Carpenter examines the existence of individuals who do not fit into traditional gender roles and instead occupy a space in between. He refers to these individuals as the ""intermediate sex"" and explores their experiences, struggles, and contributions to society. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the ""intermediate types"" of men, including those who are effeminate, homosexual, and transgender. Carpenter explores the social and cultural factors that have contributed to the marginalization and stigmatization of these individuals and advocates for greater acceptance and understanding. The second part of the book focuses on the ""intermediate types"" of women, including those who are masculine, lesbian, and transgender. Carpenter examines the ways in which these individuals have been similarly marginalized and stigmatized, and advocates for greater recognition of their experiences and contributions to society. Overall, The Intermediate Sex is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional notions of gender and advocates for greater acceptance and understanding of those who exist beyond the binary. It remains a significant work in the field of gender studies and continues to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Intermediate Sex: A Study of Some Transitional Types of Men and Women

The following papers, now collected in book-form, have been written - and some of them published - on various occasions during the last twelve or fourteen years, and in the intervals of other work; and this must be my excuse for occasional repetitions or overlapping of matter, which may be observable among them. I have thought it best, however, to leave them as they stand, as in this way each is more complete in itself. The second essay, which gives its title to the book, has already appeared in my "Love's Coming-of-Age" (edition 1906), but is reprinted here as belonging more properly to this volume.

A collection of quotations from responsible writers, who touch on various sides of the subject, is added at the end, to form an Appendix - which the author thinks will prove helpful, though he does not necessarily endorse all the opinions presented.
