This book covers a broad area-the problems associated with female develop­ ment-from the appearance of gender abnormalities in the delivery room, through the trials of pubescence, early maturation, and precocious child­ bearing. Experts from many diverse fields of scholarship have contributed chapters covering a wide range of subjects. The contributors have concentrated on their areas of expertise.
