Description

""Pieper takes on the complex and infinitely important topic of sex testing in women's sport with fresh insight and a measured hand. In the process, she deftly unpacks how attempts to 'control' sex are continually fraught with elements of sexism, gender anxieties, and geopolitical tensions. This is an enlightening and necessarily disturbing analysis.""--Jaime Schultz, author of Qualifying Times: Points of Change in U.S. Women's Sport ""For the first time, someone is pulling together the complete history of sex testing in sport. A very important book that makes a significant and unique contribution.""--Alison M. Wrynn, former editor, Journal of Sports History ""A timely and important book, the first in-depth history of its kind. Rich in detail and thorough in research, it is a must read for understanding the multiple layers of politics and ideology that inform gender policing in sport.""--Kathryn Henne, author of Testing for Athlete Citizenship: Regulating Doping and Sex in Sport
