An exciting new exploration of gender from the creators of the groundbreaking Queer: A Graphic History

Gender: a Graphic Guide

Hesitant to rate this because I learned all of this in college and through experience so I don't know how well it truly functions as an introduction

The sections where they talk about how the history of gender is intertwined with capitalism and colonialism were veeeery eye opening.

Join the creators of Queer: A Graphic History (‘Could totally change the way you think about sex and gender’ VICE) on an illustrated journey of gender exploration. Is masculinity ‘toxic’? Why are public toilets such a political issue? How has feminism changed the available gender roles – and for whom? Why might we all benefit from challenging binary thinking about sex/gender? In this unique illustrated guide, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele travel through our shifting understandings of gender across time and space – from ideas about masculinity and femininity, to non-binary and trans genders, to intersecting experiences of gender, race, sexuality, class, disability and more. Tackling current debates and tensions, which can divide communities and even cost lives, Barker and Scheele look to the past and the future to explore how we might all approach gender in more caring and celebratory ways.
