Abstract

Examine the cultural and political implications of male-to-female gender performance! The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators examines the phenomena of male-to-female gender performance and the people who live it.

The book's contributors call on extensive backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, theater, literature.
