“I am both a psychologist and a historian of psychology, and I found that The Machines of Sex Research enriched my understanding both of sexual science and of its history. … book draws mostly on published scientific literature, it would provide useful avenues for enthusiastic student research if used in a teaching context. … the terrain traversed by Drucker in this accessible, informative book will fascinate readers, and it’s a territory that certainly merits the attention she has given it.” (Peter Hegarty, ISIS, Vol. 107 (2), June, 2016)
