About this title: In her classic work Gender Trouble - a book that changed the face of gender studies - Judith Butler presented the idea of "gender performativity"-the notion that we all 'do' gender in some way. In her new collection of essays, Butler clarifies the critical task of "undoing gender" when its terms are produced in the service of regulatory and punitive power.

"Her discussion of what it means to be "human" and socially intelligible made me cry.
Specifically: "To be called a copy, to be called unreal, is thus one way in which one can be oppressed. But consider that it is more fundamental than that.

To find that one is fundamentally unintelligible is to find that one has not yet achieved access to the human" (218).
Similarly, I appreciated her thoughts on the nature of philosophy in the last essay, "Can the "Other" of Philosophy Speak?"."
