Double-weighted statement
Using unedited and newly discovered inquisitorial sources from archives in Spain and Portugal, this 120,000-word monograph examines the complexities revolving around ambiguous sexual behaviour and the construction of gender identity in the early modern Iberian World, a European area hitherto ignored by historians of gender and sex. For the first time, this book studies the rich documentary evidence from inquisitorial trials and explores the intersection between medical knowledge, popular assumptions, and everyday gender performances.
