this article addresses european and north american hormone theories and the way those were received in the field of argentine bio-typology in the 1930's. it surveys a series of articles published in the journal anales de biotipología [annals of bio-typology], and one medical case history presented in archivos argentinos de pediatría [argentine pediatrics archive]. focus is placed on girls' and boys' treatment, to inquire into the ways the medical-scientific field intervened in the construction of sexual difference, and on how certain social conceptions of gender mediated bio-medical practice.
