Il genere è connesso con qualsiasi aspetto della nostra vita. Non possiamo farne a meno, anche volendolo. Ma cos'è esattamente il genere? Partendo dai dibattiti e le tensioni attuali, che possono dividere le comunità e persino costare vite umane, attraverso il pensiero di grand* pensator* e attivist* del nostro tempo (da Judith Butler, a bell hooks, da Simone de Beauvoir a Anne Fausto-Sterling), passando per il movimento femminista e quello trans, Gender: una storia per immagini propone un viaggio che dal passato arriva al futuro prossimo, passando attraverso un presente ancora pieno di contraddizioni ma utile a chiederci come si potrà affrontare il genere in modo diverso, in un modo socialmente più costruttivo e inclusivo.
