Gender Trouble Judith Butler Feminism and the subversion of identity
Abstract
Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (1990; second edition 1999 is a book by the philosopher Judith Butler, in which the author argues that gender is a kind of improvised performance. The work is influential in feminism, women's studies, and lesbian and gay studies, and has also enjoyed widespread popularity outside of traditional academic circles. Butler's ideas about gender came to be seen as foundational to queer theory and the advancing of dissident sexual practices during the 1990s
