What does it mean to be a man? A woman? What happens when our bodies don't fit neatly into these categories? In Bodies of Subversion, Margot Mifflin takes us on a journey to the edge of gender, introducing us to individuals who defy traditional gender norms and challenge societal expectations.

From intersex people who are born with both male and female genitalia, to transgender activists who are fighting for their right to live authentically, Mifflin explores the complexities of gender identity and the challenges faced by those who break the mold.

Mifflin's book is a powerful and moving account of the human experience of gender. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the fluidity and diversity of gender expression.
