Leslie Feinberg (Author)
"Stone Butch Blues," Leslie Feinberg's 1993 first novel, is considered in and outside the U.S. to be a groundbreaking work about the complexities of gender. The novel tells the story of "Jess", a working-class woman living as a man, who survives a period of homelessness, tries to unionize fellow workers, constantly worries about being found out, and searches for community while undergoing a secret transsexual operation." Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of "transgender liberation." Feinberg commented that Stone Butch Blues is a lesbian novel and a transgender novel, making trans genre a verb, as well as an adjective." --‡cAdapted from publisher
