Reviews

Kristen Schilt, author of Just One of the Guys? Transgender Men and the Persistence of Gender Inequality:

In The Man Who Invented Gender, Terry Goldie performs an insightful, rich, and well-researched investigation into the life and legacy of John Money. This engaging book complicates and humanizes the much-maligned sexologist, and documents the multiple and varied shifts in public and academic reception that his research on gender and sexuality underwent over and beyond his lifetime.

Paul Fedoroff, Director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Group and co-editor of Ethical Dilemmas: Sexuality and Developmental Disability:
Professor John Money was as controversial as he was influential in his field of Sexology. Terry Goldie has managed to capture the academic and personal impact that Money exerted on our concepts of gender, sex, and love. It is possible to argue for Money or against Money but no one should argue about Money before reading this book. Highly recommended.
