Book Synopsis Ambiguous Gender in Early Modern Spain and Portugal by : Francois Soyer
Book excerpt: Using new inquisitorial sources, this study examines the complexities revolving around transgenderism and the construction of gender identity in the early modern Iberian World and the self-perception of individuals whose behaviour, whether consciously or unconsciously, flouted social and sexual conventions.
