Annotation:
	Studies the implications of Lady Macbeth's invocation in Macbeth to the spirits to "unsex" her by discussing the critical attention her body has received, examining what "unsexing" would entail in light of pre-Enlightenment understanding of fluids, analyzing how Lady Macbeth ignores the distinctions between "unsexing" and "unmanning," and examining the cultural appropriations and permeations of the concept of "unsexing."
