The Argonauts Summary
Maggie Nelson

The Argonauts Overview

This non-fiction contemplation of various aspects of gender, sexuality, and family relationships synthesizes the writings and thoughts of a variety of writers on the same subject with the thoughts and experiences of the author and her gender-transitioning partner. As the book explores considerations of different aspects of identity, it also emphasizes the need for, and value of, individual choice as a determining factor in understanding the self and others.
