Gender: In World Perspective by Raewyn Connell

informative slow-paced

4.0

I did actually have to read this for a gender studies course at uni but it’s definitely along the lines of non-fiction books that I’d like to pick up and read anyways. It’s way more educational and uses less accessible language than other books about gender that I’ve read, but I ended up learning a lot more. There was a lot of ‘ah-ha’ moments and sentences that I underlined, which is always a good sign. I like how Connell linked gender to sexuality and politics to highlights the different dimensions, complexities and aspects of it. I found it really interesting and insightful overall.
