Add to basketEl libro más polémico del año en el Reino Unido. Un análisis claro, conciso y accesible sobre las relaciones entre sexo, género y feminismo. Material Girls es un libro de pensamiento. En él se articula una crítica incisiva y sólidamente argumentada a la principal tesis de la identidad de género, según la cual el género que cada cual siente y se adscribe de forma subjetiva es más relevante que la realidad objetiva del sexo biológico, cuya existencia llega incluso a negarse. La profesora Kathleen Stock empieza por rastrear el origen filosófico de estos planteamientos, desde la tan famosa como desvirtuada sentencia de Simone de Beauvoir de que No se nace mujer; se llega a serlo, hasta los desarrollos de la teoría queer o el pensamiento de Judith Butler, para quien el lenguaje crea la realidad, en lugar de describirla. Frente a ello, la autora muestra las incoherencias e incluso sinsentidos a los que conducen esos planteamientos, y complementa su crítica a partir de la evidencia empírica disponible. Porque, como se pretende demostrar, la realidad material es esencial para la protección de los derechos de las.

¿En qué consiste ser mujer? ¿Depende de unas características objetivas, o basta con sentirse como tal?
En este libro, Kathleen Stock articula una crítica incisiva y sólidamente argumentada a la principal tesis de la identidad de género, según la cual el género que cada cual "siente" y se adscribe de forma subjetiva es más relevante que la realidad objetiva del sexo biológico, cuya existencia llega incluso a negarse.
La profesora Kathleen Stock empieza por rastrear el origen filosófico de estos planteamientos, desde la tan famosa como desvirtuada sentencia de Simone de Beauvoir de que "No se nace mujer; se llega a serlo", hasta los desarrollos de la teoría queer o el pensamiento de Judith Butler, para quien el lenguaje crea la realidad, en lugar de describirla.

El libro es una invitación a abrir un debate sereno, racional y sin prejuicios en torno a una cuestión que con demasiada frecuencia se ha convertido en una "verdad" incuestionable, como ha demostrado la violenta polémica y las airadas reacciones que han acompañado a la publicación del libro.
Material Girls concluye con una visión positiva para el futuro, en la que las activistas de derechos trans y feministas pueden colaborar para lograr sus objetivos políticos.
Una lectura imprescindible lectura para entender las polémicas que subyacen a los debates sobre las diversas leyes trans.

«Un análisis claro, conciso y accesible sobre las relaciones entre sexo, género y feminismo.» ―Stella O’Malley, Evening Standard
«Material Girls es un libro valiente y cuidadosamente argumentado, una lectura imprescindible.» ―Sonia Andermahr, Morning Star
