Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More

Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More by Janet Mock is the reason that books exist. Janet Mock’s memoir is simultaneously an unflinching and beautiful example of written self-expression, a time capsule of a specific period in American history and a way for readers who want to learn about the experiences of transgender women of color. Fortunately reading Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More isn’t a chore. It only took me a little over two sittings, and I only gained momentum as I progressed. Janet Mock effectively balances objective psychological and socio-economic analysis with her personal experiences. I was struck by how young and vulnerable she is as opposed to the confident image that she projects. Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More is a must read.
