Abstract

This article provides an example of the historical production of medical masculinity via a case study of medical practitioners in early 20th century North America within the nascent specialty of urology. By using the analytical concept of “repertoire”, it is argued that this urological masculinity was produced to advance the position of the emerging specialty and simultaneously differentiate it in the eyes of other medical practitioners, as well as to distinguish urologists from their male patients with venereal disease.
