Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (Routledge Classics)

Dive into the groundbreaking exploration of gender identity with Judith Butler’s "Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity," a seminal work that has sparked debate and dialogue since its publication in May 2006. Butler challenges the conventional views of feminism, questioning the very categories of 'woman,' 'man,' 'feminine,' and 'masculine.' Through her persuasive argument, she posits that gender is not a fixed attribute but a fluid performance shaped by societal expectations and norms. This book is ideal for college students who are eager to delve into complex ideas of gender equality and identity politics. "Gender Trouble" not only invites readers to reconsider established notions of gender but also encourages a critical reflection on how identity is formed and performed in our social world. Engage with this text and be prepared to question, rethink, and possibly transform your understanding of gender dynamics in contemporary society.
