Description
Female Husbands: A Trans History by Jen Manion explores the lives of ordinary people who lived as men despite tremendous risk, danger, violence, and threat of punishment in the United States and the United Kingdom from the colonial era to just before the First World War.
The book delves into the stories of female husbands, a group of queer pioneers who defied societal norms, and how attitudes towards them shifted in relation to transformations in gender politics and women's rights.
Manion's groundbreaking work offers a dynamic, varied, and complex history of the LGBTQ past, shedding light on the lives of those who lived on the margins of society and challenging our understanding of the past.
