Sexual visions: images of gender in science and medicine between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries
Abstract
Sexual Visions makes a powerful statement about the cultural intertwining of science and sexuality, making a significant contribution to the fields of women's studies, biology, art history and cultural studies. Through an extensive analysis of professional and popular medical and biological writings, sculpture, anatomical wax models, paintings, films, poetry and fiction, the author shows how the fluid and ever-changing roles of such opposites as male/female and reason/emotion are central to the culture of science and are also powerful images in their own rights.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
