""The Female-Impersonators"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of early 20th-century New York City. This unique autobiography details the experiences of Ralph Werther as a female impersonator navigating the city's vibrant underworld.
More than just a personal story, this volume provides valuable insights into LGBTQ+ history and the social landscape of the time. Werther's account, a sequel to his earlier autobiography, explores themes of gender identity and cross-dressing through his six years of instinctive female impersonation.
A compelling historical document, ""The Female-Impersonators"" sheds light on a marginalized community and offers a firsthand perspective on the complexities of gender and identity in a bygone era. It is essential reading for anyone interested in gender studies, LGBTQ+ history, and the social history of New York.
