“The foundational text that gave me life-changing context, helping me to understand who I was and who came before me.”—Tourmaline, activist and filmmaker

Transgender Warriors is an essential read for trans people of all ages who want to learn about the towering figures who have come before them—and for everyone who is part of the fight for trans liberation

This groundbreaking book—far ahead of its time when first published in 1996 and still galvanizing today—interweaves history, memoir, and gender studies to show that transgender people, far from being a modern phenomenon, have always existed and have exerted their influence throughout history. Leslie Feinberg—hirself a lifelong transgender revolutionary—reveals the origin of the check-one-box-only gender system and shows how zie found empowerment in the lives of transgender warriors around the world, from the Two Spirits of the Americas to the many genders of India, from the trans shamans of East Asia to the gender-bending Queen Nzinga of Angola, from Joan of Arc to Marsha P. Johnson and beyond.

This book was published with two different covers. Customers will be shipped the book with one of the available covers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Men and women have had their histories. This is the history book for the rest of us.--Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw

"[Transgender Warriors] leaves us with a sense that a transgendered concept of what it is to be fully human and psychologically whole is both valid and nothing new. A brief review cannot do justice to this amazing resource, not only for our communities, but for the world."--Patricia Roth Schwartz, Lambda Book Report

"[Transgender Warriors] does far more than document the history of transgenders. It delves into the transgender experience, inviting the reader to consider a spectrum of gender possibilities." --Linda Gebroe, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"No book since Toni Morrison's Beloved gives so much and holds itself so well. History becomes art, the political becomes transformative, the personal becomes universal." --Craig Hickman, Gay Community News

"The challenge Feinberg sets forth-a complex, multisided one-is to take up the banner of feminism and extend it, stretch it, until it has room for all women."--Rosemarie C. Sultan, Sojourner

"A ground-breaking gift to both the transgender community and the world at large."--Rachel Reed, Synapse

"A well-written, well-researched compendium of transgender history."--Harriet L. Schwartz, Philadelphia Gay News

"Nobody will remain unaffected by this book." --Heather Findlay, Girlfriends

Good read great resource!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017

One of the best LGBT history books available. It was a course book for my college.
Accessible to non-historians and an entertaining read. It's not written like a 'history book' but it provides a heck of a lot of information and has a wonderfully useful glossary/ directory in the back.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know a little more about LGBT history (understandably this focuses on trans history specifically and how it meshes with LGBT) and anyone who is part of the family.

For most of my life I've wondered if people like myself have existed, and if so how. And in this book Leslie not only addressed that question but does so in a well-researched, methodical, progressive manner that both validifies our lives and identities, but does so for those that have come before us as well.
RIP Leslie, and thank you for all your work.

An easy read as well

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014

A must read. The history of transgendered people in the world is fascinating and the history of how they have been treated historically is enlightening. They have not always been treated with the disdain and hatred as they are treated currently. The depths to which Feinberg has gone in his research is outstanding . An easy read as well. The book keeps you interested. Includes many photos of transgendered people and art. It is sad that Feinberg died so young and before he could write more books.

This book takes a great, simple approach to covering a quick over view of Transgender history. This is a must for anyone in LGBT+ activist circles, gender theory, and probably great for any trans person to get to know their history. In addition, you're going to sound cool if you name drop Leslie Feinberg in any liberal college student discussion of lgbtq issues. :P

A clear view, past and present, of Transgender folks

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a good history of Transgender people going back into early recorded history., continuing with up to date comments as to current problems.
My only complaint was the exceptionally small print accompanying the photos;
perhaps I need new glasses?

I think parents, relatives, friends of Trans people might see it as a real wake-up call. People who are prejudiced against them are unlikely to read it.

This book is excellent. Leslie Feinberg is a top-notch scholar, but zie writes in a way that is extremely engaging. The book follows the history of trans people throughout the ages, as well as heir journey in uncovering the truth about our history.

This book is incredible! It maps out trans identities all through history in such a clear and easy to understand way and gives such a great knowledge of non-binary gender throughout time. I can't recommend this book enough!

Everyone should read this book. As transgendered people are invisible in the main stream venues. Feinberg shows us the history of transgendered people but it is not an exhaustive history book. She talks about what we who aren't transgendered need to know; what everyone needs to know about transgended people from and world worker's point of view.It's one of my favourite books of all time. A must read.
