In this original and unusual work, Lucy Chesser explores the
persistent recurrence of cross-dressing and gender inversion within
Australian cultural life. Examples of cross-dressing are to be
found in almost every area of Australian historical enquiry,
including Aboriginal-European relations and conflict, convict
societies, the goldrushes, bushranging, the 1890s and its
nationalist fiction, and World War One. The book compares and
contrasts sustained life-long impersonations whereby women lived,
worked and sometimes married as men, with other forms of
cross-dressing such as public masquerades, cross-dressing on the
stage, and the prosecution of men who sought sexual encounters
while disguised as women.
