Gender and American History Since 1890
Despite being out-of-date, this book really opens your eyes to the issues surrounding gender and politics. It has introduced me to new concepts and has made me really think about the various sub-topics this book covers. It has also made me realise how blind I have been as a white, middle-class man.
Whilst this book argues well, I feel the essay, academic approach is too early for this topic. As said by Monro, very little literature has been made about bisexuality and the trans community. For an average reader, the style can be boring and heavy, failing to give the topic the justice it needs. If it had been written more friendly, I may have enjoyed it more.
This book lost the two stars because:
1) The style and word choice should have been friendlier.
2) If the book was aimed at the average reader, Monro failed to take in account lack of pre-knowledge.
