Review:

This is a technical book written in the jargon of the professional in gender studies.  I found a lot of the terms seemed archaic (to my ears the use of terms were just so unusual).  I listened to an audio book where the performer pronounced words like, "corollary" as "carol-aerie," and I found the pronunciation jarring as well as quickly making the sentence unintelligible.  I coped by going back and listening again, frequently.  This book is far from an easy read, but it is kind of fun to hear Butler reduce Freud to gibbering nonsense.
