"The erotic diary of Barbin, who as a young woman was suddenly reclassified as a man, details the story of her metamorphosis, offering a unique perspective of human sexuality"
I read this book a few months ago and thought of it when the class mentioned hermaphroditic individuals, the first half of the book is the memoirs of Herculine Barbin and the second half is a medical overview of their case by the doctor who discovered their condition.
