So when author and journalist Lisa Selin Davis's six-year-old daughter first called herself a \"tomboy,\" Davis was hesitant. Her child favored sweatpants and T-shirts over anything pink or princess-themed, just like the sporty, skinned-kneed girls Davis had played with as a kid. But \"tomboy\" seemed like an outdated word--why use a word with \"boy\" in it for such girls at all? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo was it outdated? In an era where some are throwing elaborate gender reveal parties and others are embracing they\/them pronouns, Davis set out to answer that question, and to find out where tomboys fit into our changing understandings of gender. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTomboy, \u003c\/i\u003eDavis explores the evolution of tomboyism from a Victorian ideal to a twentyfirst century fashion statement, honoring the girls and women--and those who identify otherwise--who stomp all over archaic gender norms. She highlights the forces that have shifted what we think of as masculine and feminine, delving into everything from clothing to psychology, history to neuroscience, and the connection between tomboyism, gender identity, and sexuality. Above all else, Davis's comprehensive deep-dive inspires us to better appreciate those who defy traditional gender boundaries, and the incredible people they become. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you're a grown-up tomboy or raising a gender-rebel of your own, \u003ci\u003eTomboy \u003c\/i\u003eis the perfect companion for navigating our cultural shift. It is a celebration of both diversity and those who dare to be different, ultimately revealing how gender nonconformity is a gift.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Selin Davis \u003c\/b\u003eis an essayist, novelist, and journalist who has written for major publications such as the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWall\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eStreet Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e, Yahoo!, and \u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e, among many others.
