She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy

She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy

New York Times Editorsâ€™ ChoiceÂ

In this poignant memoir of personal transformation, Jill Soloway takes us on a patriarchy-toppling emotional and professional journey. When Jillâ€™s parent came out as transgender, Jill pushed throughÂ the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood to create theÂ groundbreaking and award-winning Amazon TV seriesÂ Transparent.Â ExploringÂ identity, love, sexuality, and the blurring of boundaries through the dynamics of a complicated and profoundly resonant American family, Transparent gave birth to a new cultural consciousness. While working on the show and exploding mainstream ideas about gender, Jill began to erase the lines on their own map, finding their voice as a director, show creator, and activist.Â

She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy moves with urgent rhythms, wild candor, and razor-edged humor to chart Jillâ€™sÂ evolution from straight, married mother of two to identifying as queer and nonbinary. This intense and revelatory metamorphosis challenges the status quo and reflects the shifting power dynamics that continue to shape our collective worldview. With unbridled insight that offers a rare front seat to the inner workings of the #metoo movement and its aftermath, Jill captures the zeitgeist of a generation with thoughtful and revolutionary ideas about gender, inclusion, desire, and consent.
