M. Wolff's 2025 book Body Problems: What Intersex Priest Sally Gross Teaches Us About Embodiment, Justice, and Belonging (Duke University Press) bridges intersexuality studies, interreligious dialogue, and international social justice movements. Gross was designated male at birth and conditionally white as a Jewish person under apartheid in South Africa. She became engaged in pro-Palestinian activism in Israel, was diagnosed as intersex while serving as a Catholic priest in England, and ultimately returned to South Africa to become an intersex activist. As the first book-length publication on Sally Gross, it offers crucial insights into questions of embodiment, religious identity, and social justice through the lens of Gross's remarkable life and advocacy work. Stephanie Budwey, Sarah Imhoff, Joseph Winters, and Kent Brintnall will respond to the book.
