Written in the early 1970s amidst widespread debate over the causes
of gender inequality, Marilyn Strathern's Before and After Gender
was intended as a widely accessible analysis of gender as a
powerful cultural code and sex as a defining mythology. But when
the series for which it was written unexpectedly folded, the
manuscript went into storage, where it remained for more than four
decades. This book finally brings it to light, giving the long-lost
feminist work--accompanied here by an afterword from Judith
Butler--an overdue spot in feminist history. Strathern incisively
engages some of the leading feminist thinkers of the time,
including Shulamith Firestone, Simone de Beauvoir, Ann Oakley, and
Kate Millett. Building with characteristic precision toward a bold
conclusion in which she argues that we underestimate the
materializing grammars of sex and gender at our own peril, she
offers a powerful challenge to the intransigent mythologies of sex
that still plague contemporary society. The result is a sweeping
display of Strathern's vivid critical thought and an important
contribution to feminist studies that has gone unpublished for far
too long.
