Margarete Susman (1872-1966), a prominent figure in German-speaking culture, was an essayist, Kulturtheoretikerin, philosopher, poet and painter. His vast production - almost unknown in Italy - deals with various themes: from literary criticism to interreligious dialogue, from the study of Romanticism to portraits of great personalities of the past and of his time. This book investigates the ëfeminile 'in Susman from two points of view: from a formal perspective, it describes the path of a writer who, from the early years of the twentieth century, moves between poetry and essay, passing through the comparison with the epistolary culture ; from a thematic perspective, it examines the essays in which Susman deals with sexual difference and the relationship between the 'masculine' and the 'feminine'.

Geschlecht ist gesellschaftlich gemacht. Dass das auch für das biologische Geschlecht sex gilt - ein Postulat queer-feministischer Theorien -, kann dieser Band anhand biologischer Theorien erstmals dezidiert und differenziert belegen. Die naturphilosophischen und biologisch-medizinischen Geschlechtertheorien unterschiedlicher Zeitabschnitte (Antike, beginnende Moderne, Gegenwart) werden dargestellt und mit gesellschaftlichen Geschlechterordnungen in Verbindung gebracht. Heinz-Jürgen Voß führt die miteinander ringenden Positionen differenziert aus und zeigt: Mit prozessorientierten Betrachtungsweisen sind in biologischen Theorien viele Geschlechter denkbar - statt nur zwei oder drei. »[Das Buch bringt] einen neuen Ton in die etwas festgefahrene Gender-Philosophie. [...] Voß' Studien enthalten einen beträchtlichen Mehrwert an Erkenntnis.« Rüdiger Lautmann, Zeitschrift für Sexualforschung, 25 (2012) »Die kompakte Studie kann sowohl wissenschaftlichen Laien wie auch Natur- und Geisteswissenschaftlern gleichsam empfohlen werden.« Uwe Hoßfeld, Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, 9 (2010) »Die Auseinandersetzung mit historischen Geschlechtermodellen ist Ausgangspunkt von Voß' Buch, und diese führt er [...] sehr solide, kenntnisreich und reflektiert. [B]islang gibt es nur wenig Versuche, zeitgenössische molekular-biologische Erkenntnisse über Geschlecht jenseits sprachphilosophischer Argumente fundiert und kritisch in den Blick zu nehmen. Als Diplom-Biologe und Doktor der Philosophie ist Voß vermutlich auch einer der wenigen, die dies können.« Kerstin Bischl, H-Soz-u-Kult, 24.06.2011 »Die kompakte Studie kann sowohl wissenschaftlichen Laien wie auch Natur- und Geisteswissenschaftlern gleichsam empfohlen werden. Sie dokumentiert nicht nur die Ebene eines bedeutenden (und bisher in dieser Ausführlichkeit kaum behandelten) biologisch-medizinischen Themenfeldes, sondern zeigt nebenbei auch Ebenen der Wissens- und Sprachkultur sowie des Umgangs miteinander, reflektiert verschiedene gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse oder Zwänge und dokumentiert natürlich auch den jeweiligen Forschungsstand zum Thema aus wissenschaftshistorischer Perspektive.« Uwe Hoßfeld, Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, 9 (2010) »[Ein] bahnbrechendes Werk, das hoffentlich schnell in den Kanon der Gender und Queer Studies aufgenommen wird.« Katrin Kämpf, L.MAG, 7/8 (2010) »Das Buch ›Making Sex Revisited‹ des Biologen Heinz-Jürgen Voß, ein quellenreicher Forschungsbericht [...], wird mit Freude aufgenommen. Voß [...] stellt naturwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Theorien vor, die belegen, dass auch die biologische Seite des Geschlechts, in der Gender-Terminologie sex, gesellschaftliches Konstrukt ist.« Heike Friauf, Junge Welt, 05.06.2010 »[Der Band erfreut] das Herz der Geschlechterforscherin. [Biologisches Geschlecht] wird von Voß, der selbst Biologe ist, aus einer naturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive dekonstruiert. Er spannt den geschichtlichen Bogen von der Antike bis heute und stellt fest: Was wir über Sex zu wissen glauben, ist in gesellschaftliche Bedingungen eingebunden, denn Theorien verändern sich [...]« Bettina Enzenhofer, an.schläge, 6 (2010) »Der Band bietet nicht nur eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der von Laqueur behaupteten strikten Trennung und historischen Abfolge der Annahmen des Ein-Geschlechter-Modells und des diesem folgenden Zwei-Geschlechter-Modells, sondern unternimmt ebenso die im Untertitel angekündigte Dekonstruktion des Geschlechts aus biologisch-medizinischer Sicht.« Rolf Löchel, www.literaturkritik.de, 19.08.2010 »Voß liefert [...] eine überzeugende empirische Grundlage einer innerhalb wissenschaftlicher (Geschlechter-)Diskurse mittlerweile 20 Jahre währenden Theoriediskussion.« Caroline Günther, Freiburger GeschlechterStudien, 24 (2010) »Aufgrund der guten Strukturierung und der ausführlichen Darlegung wird es der lesenden Person leicht gemacht, sich ein Bild über die naturwissenschaftliche Landschaft und ihre Entwicklung zu machen. [...] Kurzum, ›Making Sex Revisited‹ ist eine Wohltat, bietet Ansätzen kritischer Gender Studies breite Anschlusspunkte, ist erkenntnisreich und spannend zu lesen.« Verena Schuh, GENDER, 3 (2010) »Dieses Buch differenziert die einzelnen historischen Positionen [zu Geschlecht] aus biologisch-medizinischer Perspektive und begründet treffend die Annahme, dass mehrere Geschlechter möglich sind.« Impulse, 67/6 (2010) Besprochen in: Deutschlandfunk, Studiozeit, 26.01.2012 Deutschlandradio Kultur, 18.01.2012 WochenSpiegel, 14.12.2011 www.brainlogs.de, 26.02.2011, Ferdinand Knauß Phase 2, 1 (2011), Merve Winter Postgender, 2 (2011), Michel Reiter www.suite101.de, 27.09.2010, Tina Pruschmann Rosige Zeiten, 129 (2010), Johannes Ungelenk http://schwule-seite.de, 01.09.2010 http://maedchenblog.blogspot.de, 09.08.2010 www.genderqueer.de, 02.07.2010 www.krisis.org, 01.07.2010, Julian Bierwirth Gigi, 66 (2010), Florian Mildenberger www.grundmast.wordpress.com, 20.05.2010, Steffi Grundmann www.transgenderradio.de, 13./27.03.2010

The field of androgen excess disorders has advanced substantially since the original publication of this book. The Androgen Excess Society (AES) was founded to bring together investigators in the field. A better understanding of the screening, progression, and molecular genetics of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) has improved the clinical care and diagnostic accuracy of these patients. New criteria for the diagnosis of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were proposed in Rotterdam, criteria that have resulted in controversy and, hopefully, initiation of new studies. The association of insulin resistance with PCOS has been strengthened, and the role of metformin in tre- ing the infertility of the PCOS has been validated. Risks for diabetes and, more cont- versially, cardiovascular disease in women with PCOS have received substantial investigation. Our understanding of the epidemiology and economic impact of these disorders has expanded, emphasizing their critical importance. These are but a few highlights of how the terrain has changed in a relatively brief period of time. In keeping with these advances, the title of this book has been revised to reflect the growing importance of PCOS as the most prevalent androgen excess disorder in women, and arguably, as the one that might have the most serious adverse consequences for general health. There are fewer chapters to provide a more focused elucidation of the area. Several chapters were penned by new (and young) authors who are conducting cutting-edge research in the field.
