Join author Jennifer Finney Boylan as she explores the complexities of gender identity and societal perceptions in her new memoir, 'Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us'.
Author Jennifer Finney Boylan , a 2022-23 Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and the inaugural Anna Quindlen Writer in Residence at Barnard College of Columbia University, joins us to discuss her new memoir, ' Cleavage : Men, Women, and the Space Between Us.
' Boylan, known for her nineteen books, including the co-authored work 'Mad Honey' with Jodi Picoult, achieved significant recognition with her groundbreaking memoir, 'She's Not There,' which became the first bestselling work written by a transgender American twenty years ago. Throughout her career, Boylan has become a leading voice in understanding the profound impact of gender on our lives, encompassing everything from our dietary choices to our aspirations. 'Cleavage' delves deeper than just gender identity; it explores the stark contrast between the societal response to Boylan's transition in 2000, marked by widespread love and acceptance, and the current climate of backlash and fear. Boylan delves into the multifaceted ways gender shapes our sense of self, body image, and the passage of time. She reflects on the friendships she has lost and cherished during her journey, examining the complexities of womanhood and the influential figures of boys and men who have shaped her life.With raw honesty, Boylan portrays the enduring feeling of liminality that accompanied her into adulthood. However, she also illuminates the transformative power of love in overcoming these challenges. Infused with Boylan's signature humor and heartfelt introspection, 'Cleavage' offers a captivating exploration of both the triumphs and losses inherent in a life lived across two genders. The memoir ultimately provides a beacon of hope for a future where individuals have the freedom to embrace their identities and live authentically as men, women, or anywhere in between
