Wander women : tales of transgression in a bordered world
Blanchard, Alexandra2022
Books
Governments' decisions usually impact most on the lives of women and people of marginalised genders - yet their stories often go unheard. 'Wander Women' unites tales of different journeys around the world and shines light on the boundaries and constraints - both physical and invisible, political and social - that mould the lives of cis women, trans people and gender-nonconforming individuals. In this moving and reflective book, two journalists draw links between the gendering of migration and the policing of gender; between cities and borders that restrict mobility. Those sharing their stories tell us what it is like to move through the world with a 'threatening' gender identity, the 'wrong' nationality, 'transgressive' politics, or a 'disability'.
