Reviews

The Shape of Sex is beautifully written, elegantly argued, and accessible to specialists and nonspecialists alike. Leah DeVun's use of case studies draws the reader in, her sophisticated elaborations of the import of the material show her familiarity with gender theory today as well as in the past. I especially value the book's attention to the intersection of race and gender. This will be the major study of the topic for many years to come.--Ruth Evans, Dorothy McBride Orthwein Professor of English, Saint Louis University
