The most popular French gender books of 2020

Books about gender ask what it means to be a woman or a man, and who decided. Expectations at home, at work and in love are examined in novels, memoirs and essays. Some are angry, some are funny, and all of them make the familiar look newly strange. This list shows the ones first published in 2020. Only books in French are listed.
