One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, "essential" notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category "woman" and continues in this vein with examinations of "the masculine" and "the feminine."

Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality. Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

Enlightening. Everyone should read, listen to this book at least twice. It has completely changed the way I see the world.

Very thorough

I was very excited to listen to this seminal text by Butler, an erudite writer whom I follow with a passion. However, no matter how much I try I cannot get on with the performance of this text - the reading is frequently monotone and lacks appropriate intonation for an English reader, it makes this an incredibly difficult audio book to engage with.

An absolute classic let down in its performance

I enjoyed the couple of chapters I could make out, but the vast majority is written as if to dissuade its own comprehension. If you can sit through reading written books then it’d probably make more sense like that when you are able to go back over things more easily.

Overall you’d be better to learn about Butler’s ideas from a secondary source as their writing is practically unintelligible most of the time.

Interesting but bloody confusing

Given the illegible text the reader was heroic. Lots of interesting ideas elucidated. the epistemology hinges on ' if Simone DB is correct in saying x, then y and z is true.' Sadly lots of empirical evidence to show that gender is made up of both socially constructed and biological factors, but that's just the constructionalist in me ;-)

amazing performance

The authors deliberately obtuse style is unsuited to an audio book, if you want this title i suggest getting a standard book, which would allow you to reread sections more efficiently.
Parsing out the authors point is a futile endeavour, little of substance is actually covered. Like many bitter uncreative intellectuals the authors intelligence comes with little wisdom, unable to justify her beliefs with rational thought she just basically calls logic and language inherently biased.
This book was recommended to me by pro Transgender feminists as a starting point to understand their arguments. Having listened to the entire book, I now firmly believe the suggestion was in bad faith. No one would recommend this book to anyone other than a specialist in the theory, i can only conclude their intention was that i would give up on this title after the first chapter, then i could be discredited as not having an open mind.
The manner in which I was recommended the title, along with how the author talks about some theories, leads me to believe the book itself may be a bad faith argument. The book repeatedly refers to significant social taboos and psychological theories in such an confusing prose, it would be a miracle if many readers failed to take a discussion for advocacy, and upon publically accusing the author of supporting obscenities, the accusor could be discredit. When you have no rational thoughts supporting your arguments, tricking a proponent into misrepresenting your position is a clever if cynical tactic.

I suffered through it so you dont have to.
