'A funny and brutally honest book about what it means to be a woman
and what it takes to be a creator, She Wants It is deeply personal
but always universal in its unapologetic recounting of a life lived
and raw talent shared. Good. Detailed. Honest. Needed' - Amy
Poehler One morning, half-awake in a shame spiral about what a
shitty mother you are because you're letting your kid watch so much
TV, the phone rings. 'Jilly? Are you sitting down?' Are you sitting
down? means something fucked up is coming... When Jill Soloway's
father, whom they had always understood to be male, came out as
transgender, everything shifted. For one, the moment became the
inspiration to push through the male-dominated landscape of
Hollywood and create the award-winning TV series Transparent.
Exploring identity, love, sexuality, and the blurring of
boundaries, the show gave birth to a new cultural consciousness.
But also, by eventually coming out as queer and non-binary, the
lines on Jill's own gender map began to be erased. This is the
story of that journey. She Wants It charts Jill's intense and
revelatory experience, growing from straight, divorced, mother of
two - to non-binary genderqueer director, show creator, and
activist. Written with wild candour and razor-edged humour, it
examines who we are, how we make art - and ultimately, who we can
become.
