Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

At this point, the sedimented and reified field of gender "reality" is understood as one that might be made differently and, indeed, less violently.

A difficult but mind-expanding work that I did not understand completely but that I did enjoy grappling with, and which has spawned a lot more reading along several lines. I'll definitely return to it, hopefully better prepared. I respect Butler's dense, ultra-precise style, but I didn't always like it.
