July Book Club: The Genesis of Gender

What’s a topic many people don’t want to touch with a ten foot pole these days? Gender - how to define it, what it means, or if it matters. Yet gender is something every one of us is affected by - regardless of what we think about it. And our workplaces, friends, and culture are increasingly wanting us to proclaim a stance on the topic. 

So let’s go back to the beginning. One of our favorite millennial professors and commentators on gender studies, Abigail Favale, did the research for us and compiled it into her new book The Genesis of Gender. That’s our July 2022 FemCatholic Book Club pick!
