About this listen
One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. 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 performance rather than the expression of a prior reality. Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

A good editor wouldn’t have gone astray
Judith Butler has certainly been a key figure in gender, feminist and queer studies, but it’s a bit that her key concepts must be accessed through such opaque acadamese.

Essential reading
Simply a foundational text for modern feminism. Butler starts with the question - who is a woman? And her answer is nuanced and fascinating. Imagine the possibilities if we were not bound to an arbitrary, narrow (and essentially false) gender binary! The writing is lucid and persuasive, and the narrator has a clear and pleasant voice. Highly recommended.
