Excluded selected as one of the best books of the decade!

I have had a bunch of book-related news of late, some of which I've alluded to or mentioned elsewhere on social media over the last several months. But I figured that it would be helpful to pen a few posts to share all this news in a more comprehensive manner. So here is the first of four posts – the biggest news of all will land next Tuesday...
As you know, the 2010s recently came to an end. And I was excited to see that my 2013 book Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive made two different "best of the decade" lists!

The queer women's website Autostraddle included the book in their article: 80 of the Best Queer, Lesbian and Bisexual Books of the Decade (you'll find it in the non-fiction section of the list). Here is what they said about it:


Writer and cultural critic Noah Berlatsky also included the book in his Ten Best Non-Fiction Books of the Decade list. There, he links to a The Atlantic interview he did with me when the book first came out. 

If you haven't read it, you can find a slew of other interviews, reviews, and excerpts from the book on my Excluded webpage. Part One of the book is a collection of personal essays about the exclusion of transgender, bisexual, and feminine people from queer and/or feminist movements (similar in style and themes to my first book Whipping Girl ). Part Two of the book contains some of the best essays I have ever written (IMHO), including novel strategies for mitigating "call-out culture," overcoming exclusion, and challenging prejudice in all of its various forms.

So please consider picking up a copy or checking it out of your library!
