Publisher's Summary

The question of gender—who we are as men and women—has never been more pressing, or more misunderstood.

Weaving personal experience with expert knowledge, Dr. Abigail Favale provides an in-depth yet accessible account of the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. Favale traces the genealogy of gender to its origins in feminism and postmodern thought, describing how gender has come to eclipse sex, and how that shift is reshaping language, law, medicine, sexuality, and our own self-perceptions.

With substance, clarity, and compassion, Favale teases out the hidden assumptions of the gender paradigm and exposes its effects. Yet this book is not merely an exposé—it is also a powerful, moving articulation of a Christian understanding of reality: a holistic paradigm that proclaims the dignity of the body, the sacramental meaning of sexual difference, and the interconnectedness of all creation. The Genesis of Gender is a vital, timely resource for anyone seeking to better understand the gender paradigm—and how to live beyond it.

A Must Read

This is a detailed, academically informed, and faithful take on Feminism and Gender Theory. I cannot recommend it enough for those who have children being exposed to these ideologies, who are encountering them themselves, who minister to young people, or who simply want to learn more. The book is well narrated and the content of the book is excellent, clearly demonstrating the depth of knowledge and nuance that comes from expertise while always remaining very readable for those unfamiliar with the subject's academic discourse. The book is written from the a faithful Catholic perspective, never compromising on truth, and Favale always keeps the real human persons struggling with these issues in mind. The book is at once highly critical of current rhetoric while being deeply loving and respectful of individuals.
