Considering examples that range from the novels of George Eliot to the psychoanalytic practice of Sigmund Freud to marriage manuals by Marie Stopes, Lavery explores the skepticism found in such works about whether it is truly possible to change one's sex. This ambivalence, she argues, has contributed to both antitrans oppression and the civil rights claims with which trans people have confronted it. Lavery examines what she terms \"trans pragmatism\"--the ways that trans people resist medicalization and pathologization to achieve pleasure and freedom.

Since transition takes people out of one genre and deposits them in another, she suggests, it should be no surprise that a cultural history of gender transition will also provide, by accident, a history of genre transition. Considering the concept of technique and its associations with feminine craftiness, as opposed to masculine freedom, Lavery argues that techniques of giving and receiving pleasure are essential to the possibility of trans feminist thriving--even as they are suppressed by patriarchal and antitrans feminist philosophies. Contesting claims for the impossibility of transition, she offers a counterhistory of tricks and techniques, passed on by women to women, that comprises a body of knowledge written in the margins of history.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48718849048769,"sku":"9780691243931","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/5512\/0833\/files\/9780691243931.jpg?v=1728934113"},{"product_id":"confidante-christopher-c-gorham-9780806542003","title":"The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America","description":"\u003cb\u003ePerfect for readers of \u003ci\u003eA Woman of No Importance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThree Ordinary Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEleanor: A Life \u003c\/i\u003ecomes the first-ever biography of Anna Marie Rosenberg, the Hungarian Jewish immigrant who became FDR's closest advisor during World War II and, according to \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e, \"the most important official woman in the world\" --a woman of many firsts, whose story, forgotten for too long, is extraordinary, inspiring, and uniquely American.

All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender.

But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black women's eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It's what makes Beyoncé's girl power anthems resonate so hard. It's what makes Michelle Obama an icon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don't have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper's world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This book argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA BEST\/MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2018 BY: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlamour \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChicago Reader \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- Bustle \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e- Autostraddle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48730874642625,"sku":"9781250112880","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/5512\/0833\/files\/9781250112880.jpg?v=1729554528"},{"product_id":"for-colored-girls-who-have-considered-politics-donna-brazile-9781250137739","title":"For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eFor Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics\u003c\/i\u003e.

Like many people who have spent their careers in public service, they view their lives in four-year waves where presidential campaigns and elections have been common threads.
