Title

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity

Description

In this book, Butler challenges the distinct idea that sex is natural and gender is socially constructed, arguing that both sex and gender are socially constructed. Butler also develops the performative theory of gender that argues that gender is the product of actions and behaviors, that is, performance, and it isn't instrinsic to people.
