Letícia Nascimento - Transfeminismo

2021, Brazil, Letícia Nascimento, Portuguese,

Original title: "Transfeminismo" (Transfeminism) by Letícia Nascimento.

In the book, Letícia Nascimento, thanks to accessible and didactic language, brings to the general public necessary explanations about the concepts of gender, transgenderism, womanhood, femininity, and feminism. She shows that it is necessary for people to be open to the various existences that do not necessarily fit into the binary and cisgender organization of the world. 

"A first step in this sense is to know the experiences of those who are part of these groups and this book, written by a transgender woman, an overweight woman of colour, who is present in academic circles and is an inspiration for other transsexual and transvestite women, presents these experiences, brings historical concepts and situates transfeminism within other existing feminisms."

According to Wikipedia, Letícia Carolina Nascimento (Parnaíba, Piauí) is a Brazilian author, pedagogue, academic professor, and researcher in the area of Gender and Education. She was the first transgender woman to hold a chair at a public university in Piauí, the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI).

Leticia is known for being the author of the book Transfeminism, released by the Collection Plural Feminisms in 2021, becoming a contemporary reference for studies on the theme of transfeminism. In addition, she also works as an activist for the FONATRANS trans support organization.
