Just One of The Boys : Female-To-Male Cross-Dressing On The American Variety Stage.
Rodger, Gillian M.Univ. Illinois Press ©2018
Female-to-male crossdressing became all the rage in the variety shows of nineteenth-century America and began as the domain of mature actresses who desired to extend their careers. These women engaged in the kinds of raucous comedy acts usually reserved for men. Over time, as younger women entered the specialty, the comedy became less pointed and more centered on the celebration of male leisure and fashion. This book uses the development of male impersonation from the early nineteenth century to the early twentieth century to illuminate the history of the variety show.
