This three-volume collection focuses on writings by and about
cross-dressing women from the early nineteenth century up until the
beginning of World War II. In so doing, it provides a new
perspective on one of the most decisive periods in the history of
feminism.
The anthology brings together for the first time key texts from
the sexological and the literary realms, as well as newspaper
articles, letters and photographs, which document the phenomenon of
cross-dressing women in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
British culture. The collection also includes translations from
European texts that impacted on British understandings of
cross-dressing during this time.
A fascinating work, each of the volumes is introduced separately
with a critical essay, and is divided thematically to include
sections devoted to theories, fictions and fictionalisations, and
lives. Together, these volumes make available important source
material for the history of feminism.
