profejmarie 's review for:
Seeing Gender: An Illustrated Guide to Identity and Expression
by Iris Gottlieb
Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader copy of this book!
This book is packed with information about all aspects of gender. Sometimes I found myself wondering who the intended audience was, but this note in Gottlieb's acknowledgements is probably the best guide: "This book was made entirely from a desire to reach people in whatever moment they're in to feel connection or understanding" because for some, most of the information in this book will be enlightening. For others, only certain parts. Towards the end, when Gottlieb shared her story and then gave a surgery timeline, I did wonder if that could have been the focal point of the book - a memoir with surrounding analysis of gender. Overall, I like the readability of this book and because of that and the comprehensive nature of it, would recommend to others!
