  • Great for people looking for a better understanding of gender identities and terminology.

This book was wonderful. It was smart, thoughtful, and informative. I would recommend this to anyone who was looking to learn more about gender, as well people who already feel they know about gender and identity (I guarantee you'll find something you didn't) equally.

Iris thought of everything and executed it beautifully. By far my favorite part are the illustrations. Using visuals to represent gender and identity was artfully done, and so smart.

This book included history and terminology as well as spotlights on important figures and events but I think the most important part is the focus on intersectionality. Gender connects with every other part of identity and the overall book and especially several of the illustrations shows how interwoven every part of our lives are.

And finally, thank you to Coco Chanel for pants.
