Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Judith Butler was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 24, 1956, and grew up in a Jewish family shaped by both civic engagement and religious study. Britannica notes that Butler’s father was a dentist and their mother worked for fair housing, while the Jewish Women’s Archive emphasizes the importance of Hebrew school and Jewish ethics in Butler’s intellectual formation. After a brief period at Bennington College, Butler moved to Yale, where they completed degrees in philosophy, culminating in a Ph.D. in 1984. Those early commitments to ethics, language, and interpretation remained central to the writing that followed. ((https://www.britannica.com/biography/Judith-Butler))
