Alice Dreger Books

Alice Dreger champions social justice within medicine and science through her research, writing, speaking, and advocacy. Much of her professional energy is dedicated to using historical perspectives to improve the medical and social treatment of individuals born with bodies that challenge typical norms. Her work centrally explores why we should change minds rather than bodies, focusing on those with atypical sex development, conjoined conditions, dwarfism, and cleft lip. Dreger's writing seeks to foster greater understanding and more inclusive care for diverse human experiences.
