Summary

Transversity distribution encodes a basic piece of information on the internal structure of nucleons, sharing the same status with the more familiar unpolarized and helicity distributions. On the other hand its chiral-odd nature makes it much harder to measure. In this talk I will review its properties and discuss different ways to access it, with their highlights and limitations. Recent phenomenological extractions and perspectives are also presented.
