In this poignant memoir of personal transformation, Jill Soloway takes us on a patriarchy-toppling emotional and professional journey. When Jill’s parent came out as transgender, Jill pushed through the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood to create the groundbreaking and award-winning Amazon TV series Transparent. Exploring 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.

She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy
moves with urgent rhythms, wild candor, and razor-edged humor to chart Jill’s 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.

Have loved Soloway’s voice over the years in writings, and film. May the destination be far off in the distance so we can continue the ride.

The story is an authentic her story of which we will hear more and more. It is an education of working a through a journey from the inside out. So desperately honest you want to listen all at once to digest it all and not lose the rythem. I appreciate the insight the most so I may be a better and compassionate human with those in my aura that are nonbinary, trans, queer or still searching. As well as a wonderful battle cry for feminism.

Exceptionally honest

I thought this was going to be a dishy “behind the scenes” of Transparent etc. ( and it is) but I didn’t not expect it to crack open my thinking about gender and privilege. It did.

My mind is blown.
