Ammie's Reviews > Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud

I read this book for a class, and I used the main premise of the first section (that social importance shifted from gender to sex in about the 1600's) in countless papers in grad school (even though I was a music major! so there.). I really thought that was presented well, but in all honesty I should probably re-read the rest of the book, because I don't remember it well. All I remember is that he used a lot of large words that I didn't know and was unable to find in dictionaries.
