OverviewIn modern pediatric practice, gender matters. From the pink-and-blue striped receiving blankets used to swaddle newborns, to the development of sex-specific nutrition plans based on societal expectations of the stature of children, a gendered culture permeates pediatrics and children's health throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book provides a look at how gender has served as one of the frameworks for pediatric care in the U.S. since the specialty's inception. Pink and Blue deploys gender-often in concert with class and race-as the central critical lens for understanding the function of pediatrics as a cultural and social project in modern U.S. history.

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.
