Body ProblemsWhat Intersex Priest Sally Gross Teaches Us About Embodiment, Justice, and Belonging\nAuthor(s): M Wolff\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Duke University Press, United States\nImprint: Duke University Press\nISBN-13: 9781478028789, 978-1478028789\nSynopsis\nIn Body Problems, M. Wolff offers groundbreaking insight into Sally Gross, a South African intersex priest and activist whose body was continuously policed and politicized. Grosss role in founding Intersex South Africa and her involvement with the African National Congress are celebrated in the Apartheid Museum, but the complex dimensions of her life - from her Jewish heritage, Christian priesthood, and Buddhist practices - remain largely unexplored. Wolff illuminates these lesser-known aspects of Grosss spirituality and theorizes her resistance to the regulation of intersexuality. The book urges readers to rethink bodies and belonging, particularly as they relate to formations of gender and religion. Wolff presents Gros.
