Reviews
"""Exner is a subtle and convincing commentator. Better still, he is capable of sifting through a complex visual record with an eye towards salient detail. The result is a watershed contribution to comics studies that is mandatory reading for scholars interested in manga and its history.""--Sam Cowing ""International Journal of Comic Art"" (8/14/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""This thoughtful and engaging anthology fits together powerfully, each article building from the previous one and complementing each other chronologically and thematically.""--Elizabeth Reis ""author of Bodies in Doubt: An American History of Intersex"" ""Eder and Medeiros argue that contemporary understandings of gender would not exist in their current arrangement without the medical institution, and the taken-for-granted aspects of medicine we see today are null without the social construction of the gender binary. This book is an in-depth, judiciously executed dissection of the gendered history of pediatrics."" --Alicia Smith-Tran ""Contemporary Sociology"" (9/14/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""Pink and Blue represents a splendid contribution to sociological literature as well as a useful edited volume for feminist educators and researchers.""-- ""Gender & Society"""
