turally, I
do not care to marry."

She is a musician, and herself attributes her nature in part to
artistic temperament. She is of good intelligence, and shows
remarkable talent for various branches of physical science. She
is about 5 feet 4 inches in height, and her features are rather
large. The pelvic measurements are normal, and the external
sexual organs are fairly normal in most respects, though somewhat
small. At a period ten years subsequent to the date of this
history, further examination, under anesthetics, by a
gynecologist, showed no traces of ovary on one side. The general
conformation of the body is feminine. But with arms, palms up,
extended in front of her with inner sides of hands touching, she
cannot bring the inner sides of forearms together, as nearly

tricks of manner and speech which seem to be instinctive; she
tries to watch herself continually, however, in order to avoid
them, affecting feminine ways and feminine interests, but always
being conscious of an effort in so doing.

Miss M. can see nothing wrong in her feelings; and, until, at the
age of 28, she came across the translation of Krafft-Ebing's
book, she had no idea "that feelings like mine were 'under the
ban of society' as he puts it, or were considered unnatural and
depraved." She would like to help to bring light on the subject
and to lift the shadow from other lives. "I emphatically
protest," she says, "against the uselessness and the inhumanity
of attempts to 'cure' inverts. I am quite sure they have perfect
right to live in freedom and happiness as long as they live
unselfish lives. One must bear in mind that it is the soul that
needs to be satisfied, and not merely the senses."

HISTORY XXXVIII.--Miss V., aged 35. Throughout early life up to
adult age she was a mystery to herself, and morbidly conscious of
some fundamental difference between herself and other people.
There was no one she could speak to about this peculiarity. In
the effort to conquer it, or to ignore it, she became a hard
student and has attained success in the profession she adopted. A
few years ago she came across a bo
