‘Gender medicine’ is in the process of becoming an anti-emancipatory project. People are understood as thoroughly gendered; causes are not sought in unequal social treatment, but essentialized. The anthology edited by Alexandra Kautzky-Willer emphasizes this development. Nevertheless, it occasionally also shows reflected considerations, which do at least allow for social factors in the analysis. If the anthology is supposed to be a textbook or if it is supposed to offer initial orientation and recommendations for action, it does not satisfy either expectation. It is rather a theoretical anthology for scientists with only few suggestions for the medical practice.
