內容簡介：
Since the early twentieth century, hormones have commonly been

the development and functioning of healthy reproductive male and
female bodies; millions take them as medications in the treatment
of fertility, infertility and ageing. However, in contemporary
society, hormones are both disturbed and disturbing; invading our
environments and bodies through plastics, food and water,
environmental estrogens and other chemicals, threatening
irreversible, inter-generational bodily change. Using a wide range
of sources, from physiology textbooks to popular parenting books
and pharmaceutical advertisements, Celia Roberts analyses the
multiple ways in which sex hormones have come to matter to us
today. Bringing feminist theories of the body into dialogue with
science and technology studies, she develops tools to address one
of the most important questions facing feminism today: how is
biological sex conceivable?
