Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it.

A thorough, intelligent, and compassionate examination unpacking the history and current iteration of the trans rights movement and what it means for other discriminated groups whose needs it intersects. A must read for anyone wanting to understand how this ideology has taken hold of and is affecting society at large.

The End of Free Melania memes
Revisado: 09-02-20
All books about Trump world are like a descent into the underworld. No one is sympathetic here, including the author, but she illuminates the private world of Melania and the grubby power struggles within the Trump family effectively. I disagree with the name-dropping critique. The prologue does include a laundry list of high-profile names, but the narrator's introducing her professional experience, which was in a fashionable high-profile part of NY. That's the world in which she met, The First Lady, and why it's relevant. The author is clearly hardworking, overly loyal, and seemingly well-meaning, but short-sighted from a life of privilege, and very poor taste in friends. She takes us into Melania's private world, and it's depressing as hell. After this book, there will be no more Free Melania memes.
