<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As celebrated as it is controversial, "Gender Trouble" has become one of the key works of contemporary feminist theory, and an essential work for anyone interested in the study of gender, queer theory, or the politics of sexuality in culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler's <em>Gender Trouble</em> is as celebrated as it is controversial.</p><p>Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social <em>performance </em>rather than the expression of a prior reality.</p><p>Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>'Indispensable for feminist theory.'</strong> - <em>Hypatia</em></p><p><strong>'At times brilliant, always groundbreaking, <em>Gender Trouble</em> is bound to make some trouble of its own.'</strong> -<em> Outweek</em></p><p><strong>'The most authoritative attack to date on the naturalness of gender. This is a brilliant and innovative book.'</strong> - <em>Sandra Lee Bartky</em></p><br>
