Gender Trouble

Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
Summary:

The book challenges traditional notions of gender, arguing that it is not a fixed biological or natural reality but rather a social construct influenced by performative acts. It explores the ways in which identity is formed through the repetition of gendered behaviors, suggesting that subverting these norms can lead to greater gender freedom and fluidity.

Key points:

1. Gender Performativity: Gender is not fixed; it's a performance based on societal rules, creating the illusion of a stable identity.
