Gender & sexuality for beginners

Book
'Gender & Sexuality for Beginners' considers the uses and limitations of biology in defining gender. Questioning gender and sex as both categories and forms of compulsory identification, it critically examines the issues in the historical and contemporary construction, meaning and perpetuation of gender roles. It interweaves neurobiology, psychology, feminist, queer and trans theory, as well as historical activism to offer new perspectives on gender inequality, ultimately pointing to the clear inadequacy of gender categories.
