Work cat: 2010554087: Kvindetegnet : Lene Adler Pedersen, 2010.
Schott, G.D. Sex symbols ancient and modern: their origins and iconography on the pedigree. BMJ: British Medical Journal (International Edition) 331 (24-31 December 2005): 1509-1510 (Most likely derived from "contractions in Greek script of the Greek names of these planets ... Phosphoros (Venus)." In the 18th century the plant biologist Linnaeus introduced the symbols [also the male symbol] as a kind of shorthand. "It was then a short step for the symbols to be incorporated into zoology, human biology, and genetics.")
