Who's Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.75

This is a very good book to start getting into gender theory, with a good few words still needing to be googled. A lot of Butler's past work is a bit unreadable to the average reader, so this was a nice change, and honestly an important one in this time we're in. Having an entire section dedicated to Trump was a very good move, even though they wrote this before he was elected. I think this ends with an important message, but I will say despite everything this book was incredibly hard to get through, and I wish I'd been able to pull more arguments from it that I can use (not saying I can't pull any, just I wish there were more that were more explicit). I would recommend this to anybody, honestly, because we need more people in the fight and Butler pushes a good message about it.
