Historian and journalist Alice Dreger is perhaps best known for her book Galileo's Middle Finger, in which she chronicles the smear campaign against Dr Michael Bailey for his book, The Man Who Would Be Queen. Her book has been described by some as "an exoneration of Dr Bailey" and an important reminder that politically motivated science denialism exists on the left as well as the right.
