  An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
   
  Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
   
  Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.

  In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.

  Why is it so difficult to collaborate with that one coworker? Why can't your boss understand where you're coming from? We all want to experience a healthy, flourishing work environment, but interpersonal conflicts and miscommunications often make work feel frustrating, overwhelming, and maybe even toxic. 
    
  With the Enneagram as her guide, Joey Schewee provides a holistic, empowering approach to relating to one another in the workplace, as she helps you foster behavioral consciousness through awareness of motivational differences. She provides practical explanations of a dynamic wisdom for immediate application using anecdotes gained from fifteen years of consulting in professional environments. Drawing from her work with thousands of employees and hundreds of teams, Schewee introduces new concepts such as processing centers, reference points, and focus shifts, Enneagram advancements shared in this book for the first time. 
    
  In When Working Together Doesn't Work, you'll learn how differing motivations or types can affect employee cohesiveness and productivity; how managers can engage individuals by type, so that employees feel understood and valued; and how to significantly reduce the perception of personal slights and pave the way for understanding, trust, and collaboration.
