Gender: A Graphic Guide by Meg-John Barker
5.0
5 stars
I previously read and enjoyed Barker's and Scheele's book [b:Queer: A Graphic History|28957268|Queer A Graphic History|Meg-John Barker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1456189340l/28957268._SX50_.jpg|49182973], and this is along the same lines but with a focus on gender theory. Very accessible and informative. I somehow didn't notice while reading Queer that the author is British, but as I have become more steeped in English culture and speech (mostly due to my Premier League obsession), it was very obvious in this one! Not a bad thing by any means, but obviously there are differences between American and British culture, some subtle and some more overt. I definitely recommend this book to anyone curious to learn more about the history of gender, past and present.
