Publisher's 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.
