Oram revises assumptions about the history of modern gender and sexual identities, especially lesbianism and transsexuality.This book provides a fascinating resource for researchers and students, grounding the concepts of gender performativity, lesbian and queer identities in a broadly-based survey of the historical evidence." -- ER -
