This book is a wonderful, however dense read and is not for the general audience. If you love feminist theory, this book will make sure you adore it. It was fantastic to see such a progressive (sadly, a little dated) take on feminism. The initial challenge that Butler poses of traditional feminism cements my adoration for her and the academic work she has done and continues to do. The audience is niche, but as part of this niche, it is a great start into the rabbit hole of feminist theory and critique without being explicitly patriarchal and simplistic.
