When Jill Soloway’s parent came out as transgender, Jill pushed through Hollywood’s male-dominated landscape to create the groundbreaking, award-winning Amazon TV series "Transparent." While working on the show and exploding mainstream ideas about gender, Soloway also began to erase the lines on their own map, coming out as queer and nonbinary. She couldn’t have imagined the powerful social reckoning that would awaken with the rise of the #metoo movement, much less how it would impact "Transparent" as its lead actor was publicly accused of sexual harassment by members of the cast. Her new book, "She Wants It," details Soloway’s patriarchy-toppling emotional and professional journey of personal transformation set against the profound cultural upheaval and shifting power dynamics that continue to shape our society.
