This book is amazing! It is comprehensive and thorough and reads like a textbook but it is well worth the effort of wrapping your mind around it. Julia comes off as intelligent and well informed; her essays are written not only from personal experience but from a well contemplated historical, scientific, and sociological standpoint as well. She has clearly taken many aspects into consideration when compiling this book and she has done an excellent job of it. I found her theories to be well thought out and the best assessment of some of our problem areas understanding sex and gender as a society - weighing and finding balance between less nuanced approaches whose gaps have always bothered me.
I would happily recommend it to anyone who wants to take a hard, in depth look at these issues.
