Description
In February, UWE Bristol Library is hosting LGBT+ History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about LGBT+ history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's personal experiences. We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.
This book giveaway features Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars by Finn Mackay. Finn has visited the Library and signed the copies of their book for this giveaway.
Book bio:
"Using queer and female masculinities as a lens, Finn Mackay investigates the current generational shift that is refusing the previous assumed fixity of sex, gender and sexual identity. An increasingly important topic in political science and sociological academia, this book aims to break new ground in the discussion of the politics of gender and identity."
