Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman
| Author | Leslie Feinberg |
| ISBN | 0807079413 |
I've read a few reviews of this and a lot seem to bash Feinberg for not presenting a thoroughly academic history of transgender identity. I do think this kind of critique misses the point: quite spectacularly.
It's definitely true that if you want a meticulous, detailed, jargony drudge through...
This work digs into a very deep history of transgender experience, making the kinds of vast cross-cultural and transhistorical comparisons that sober-minded cultural anthropologists trained in particularism and relativism would likely frown upon- in doing so, Feinberg "[sets] alight the sparks...

Not June Cleaver: Women and Gender in Postwar America, 1945-1960
| Author | June Meyerowitz |
| ISBN | 1566391717 |
In the popular stereotype of post-World War II America, women abandoned their wartime jobs and contentedly retreated to the home. These mythical women were like the 1950s TV character June Cleaver, white, middle-class, suburban housewives. Not June Cleaver unveils the diversity of postwar women,...

For a traveller, a household kitchen in a strange land is usually a remote destination, but it is one that tells the 'truth' about food and everyday life, ' says Nao Saito, architect and designer from Japan.
