The rest of the title is: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy. This is a book by the creator/producer of the streaming show Transparent. I never saw the show but had heard of it. I read Jeffrey Tabor book a couple years back which was more of his life than about this show. I thought this would be more Hollywood type book but was really more about the struggles and changes the author was going through. The show is based off her writing about her father who came out as trans to female. Her sister also helped on the show and is a lesbian and during this show/book the writer Jill divorced her husband and became involved with a woman. Jill also was becoming more butch and then toward end of book non-binary. After I finished I checked wikipedia and Jill now goes by Joey and probably more identifying as trans--sorry if I am confusing this or getting it wrong working off memory of a quick read from yesterday. Anyway was not expecting this much of their life changing while also working on this show. Interesting read in many ways.
There are no copies of this book on PBS but right now putting on a pile since one of my work development goals was to read books about DEI topics and this one fits there. Will probably post on PBS later.
