From the Back Cover

'Brave, enlightening, closely argued' Jane O'Grady, Daily Telegraph

Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex.

Professor Kathleen Stock makes a clear and feminist case for our retaining the ability to discuss reality. She surveys the philosophical ideas that led us to where we are now and considers biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organisation and data collection.

'For anyone who has been trying to figure out what on earth is going on with gender and sexuality these days, this is the book for you' Stella O'Malley, Evening Standard
