Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity by Julia Serano

4.0

This has been called a foundational text for modern feminism, and having read it I can see why. In exploring the ways in which gender impacts herself and others, Serano mixes memoir, philosophy, sociology, and psychology in a comprehensive yet accessible way. And though (as Serano says herself in the preface to the second edition) things have changed since its original publication, this book remains a must-read for anyone looking to understand feminism, gender, and trans activism.
