Description

Gender-critical feminism challenges the traditional view that sex and gender are interchangeable concepts. According to this perspective, sex is a biological reality, while gender is a social construct that is often used to justify inequality. Holly Lawford-Smith introduces and defends a theory that reclaims the sex/gender distinction, arguing that gender is something that is done to people on the basis of their sex.

This approach helps us understand the ways in which women are socialised to conform to certain norms, and how these norms can lead to injustice. Lawford-Smith's work provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between sex, gender, and power.

By reclaiming the sex/gender distinction, gender-critical feminism offers a powerful tool for challenging the status quo and promoting greater equality. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to this important theory and movement.
