Gender Trouble by Judith Butler

With intellectual reference points that include Foucault and Freud, Wittig, Kristeva and Irigaray, this is one of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years and is perhaps the essential work of contemporary feminist thought.

‘Indispensable for feminist theory’ - Hypatia

‘At times brilliant, always groundbreaking, Gender Trouble is bound to make some trouble of its own.’ - Outweek

‘The most authoritative attack to date on the "naturalness" of gender. This is a brilliant and innovative book.’ - Sandra Lee Bartky


'Rereading this book, as well as reading it for the first time, reshapes the categories through which we experience and perform our lives and bodies. To be troubled in this way is an intellectual pleasure and a political necessity.' - Donna Haraway

At the University of California, Berkeley, Judith Butler is the Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric. Precarious Life: The Power of Grief and Violence (Verso, 2004) and Undoing Gender (Routledge, 2004) are her most recent books.
