(1 review)

Though not a graphic novel, this high illustrated nonfiction book explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do. Barker and Scheele show how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged. Each page focuses on a specific aspect of the subject.

An excellent introduction, huge amount of food for thought

5 stars

I was surprised at how good this book is. To me it sounds like a feet of sithesizing and making accessible a great variety of subjects. The few qualifications / questions I had were tackled in the section on some of the criticisms made to queer theory. This book would probably be great for a reading group or collective reading.
