Who's Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
4.25

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024 and it was good, timely and necessary. (But tbh I’ll be glad if I don’t read the word ‘phantasm’ again for a while.)
This isn’t the most inaccessible academic text I’ve read but I’m not sure that I would recommend it if you haven’t read/enjoyed academic texts in the past.
That being said - lots of good nuggets in here and I will probably purchase my own copy for reference.
