Cover of The Shape of Sex by Leah DeVun. The subtitle reads “Nonbinary Gender From Genesis to the Renaissance.” The artwork features two winged, intertwined figures alongside a vibrant bird with a multicolored beak, rendered in a medieval style. The image evokes themes of gender fluidity, historical embodiment, and theological symbolism.
“A premodern story of self that entangled male and female... in ways familiar and unfamiliar.”
