A Short History of Trans Misogyny

Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson's richly detailed narrative takes us from New York, London, and Paris to the colonial districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai'i to tell a richly detailed story of the emergence of trans misogyny.

A Short History of Trans Misogyny provides an insightful exploration of how trans women's lives have been historically shaped by societal forces and gendered expectations. Through meticulous research and captivating storytelling, Gill-Peterson unveils the hidden narratives that have long been marginalised in mainstream history.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex intersections of gender, colonialism, and power that have contributed to the systemic marginalisation and oppression of trans women across the globe.
