Transgender History, Third Edition: A Resource for Today's Struggle And Tomorrow's

The groundbreaking guide to trans history in America, revised and updated for a new political eraTransgender History is the modern classic on transgender life in America since the nineteenth century, encompassing the major movements, writings, and events that shape today's gender revolution. Susan Stryker's sweeping, intersectional account charts more than a century of history, showing how rising acceptance in the 1960s and 2010s was met with waves of bigotry and intolerance that began in the '70s and continue today. Through her explanation of central concepts and terms, informative sidebars, and brief biographies of trans pioneers, Stryker reminds readers of one crucial truth: Transgender people have always been here. In good times and bad, they've built supportive and expansive communities, battled for freedom, and transformed American culture and society in the process. Now completely revised and updated, including a longer, global history and a timely chronicle of the latest wave of anti-trans backlash, Transgender History remains both a vital resource and a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of trans lives.
