The most popular gender studies books
Gender studies books ask how ideas about men, women and sexuality shape our lives. Women's studies, feminist theory, masculinity and LGBTQ+ studies are all here, from classic texts to new research. Some are written for students, others for any curious reader, and all of them question what is taken for granted.
