Ciara Cremin lectures in sociology and leads the Gender Studies programme at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She has published a number of books, including Man-Made Woman (2017), that reflects on her early experiences of presenting publicly as a woman. Her work, in general, draws on Marxist, psychoanalytic and critical theory perspectives to diagnose the human condition in capitalism today.
Gender, haven't we had enough of the old cliches? But in these pages Ciara Cremin makes a compelling and eloquent case for the necessity of all that is signified by the 'feminine'. It is those practices anchored in 'masculinity', whoever performs them, with their repudiation of the 'feminine', which secure the depredations of our capitalist world. This is crucial reading for all in search of that transformed world we all need, if we are to have any viable future at all. * Lynne Segal, Anniversary Professor, Emeritus, Birkbeck, University of London, UK * Man enough to be a woman and not hate it? Ciara Cremin courageously attacks the severe gender dysphoria of the androcentric capitalism that underpins our white supremacist society, arguing that the antidote for its toxicity is femininity seen not as a biological destiny but as a vector of futurity. A powerful and original voice in second wave transgender studies, Cremin's visionary sociology points toward the only possible livable future. * Patricia Gherovici, psychoanalyst and author of Transgender Psychoanalysis (2017) *
