Theorizing gender is more urgent and highly political than ever
before. These are times, in many countries, of increased visibility
of women in public life and high-profile campaigns against sexual
violence and harassment. Challenges to fixed, traditional gender
norms have paved the way for the recognition of gay marriage and
gender recognition acts allowing people to change the gender
assigned to them at birth. Yet these are also times of religious
and political backlash by the alt right, the demonization of the
very term 'gender' and a renewed embrace of the 'naturalness' of
gendered difference as ordained by God or Science. A follow-up to
the authors' 2002 text, Theorizing Gender, this timely and
necessary intervention revisits gender theory for contemporary
times. Refusing a singular 'truth about gender', the authors
explore the multiple strands which go into making our gendered
identities, in the context of materialist and intersectional
perspectives interwoven with phenomenological and performative
ones. The resulting critical overview will be a welcome and
invaluable guide for students and scholars of gender across the
social sciences and humanities.
