Reddit mentions of Beyond the Natural Body: An Archaeology of Sex Hormones

You bring up a really good point about the oversimplification and fetishization of testosterone as inherently "masculine. I highly recommend Nellie Oudshoorn's book, Beyond the Natural Body: An Archaeology of Sex Hormones. She does some really great historical research on the beginnings of sex hormone research, how sex hormones were identified and isolated by scientists, how hormones like testosterone were tautologically constructed ("this hormone is present in large amounts in male animals, so it must be a cause of maleness") and some of the realities of the interactions of different hormones in all sexes.
