Judith Butler

philosopher
American philosopher and gender theorist whose work has had a significant impact on political philosophy, ethics, feminist studies, and literary theory. Since 1993, she has taught at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is a professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the Program in Critical Theory. Butler’s best-known works are “Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity” (translated into Ukrainian by Maria Dmytrieva) and “Bodies That Matter: The Discursive Boundaries of Sex,” which challenge the concept of gender and explain her theory of gender performativity. This theory currently plays an important role in feminist scholarship. Judith Butler is also an active supporter of the LGBTQI+ movement.
