Vicente analyses the philosophical, medical and legal debates about sexual difference in eighteenth-century Spain to demonstrate how formal definitions of man and woman often clashed with the reality of sex and gender, utilising case studies to trace the lives of particular individuals with ambiguous sexual and gender traits.
