Judith Butler
Judith Butler is an American philosopher and gender theorist, renowned for her work on feminism, queer theory, and the politics of identity. Her influential texts, including 'Gender Trouble,' challenge traditional notions of gender and sexuality, promoting the idea that gender is performative rather than a fixed trait. Butler's critique of power structures and her advocacy for social justice have made her a significant figure in contemporary critical theory and activism. She has been in the news for her insights on political discourse and the implications of leadership strategies in modern governance.
