Reviews

"""Masculine Pregnancies opens up important new perspectives on queer reproduction. Drawing on cutting-edge work in queer and trans studies, and carefully considering the entanglements of gender, sexuality, racialization, and class, Wilson reveals the uses, meanings, and contemporary legacies of masculine pregnancy in the modernist period."" — Jana Funke, coeditor of Interrogating Lesbian Modernism: Histories, Forms, Genres"
