The idea that being androgynous is psychologically healthier than being gender-typed was proposed by Sandra Bem in her 1974 book "The Measurement of Psychological Androgyny." Phyllis Chesler is a feminist author and activist, Daryl Bem (Sandra's husband) was a social psychologist who conducted research on gender roles, and Margaret Mead was an anthropologist who studied gender and sexuality in different cultures. While these individuals may have made significant contributions to the study of gender and psychology, it was Sandra Bem who proposed the concept of psychological androgyny.
