Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from 19th-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances. "Thank goodness for the dashing Judith Halberstam! Her new book is a smart, entertaining, and informed tour of that most threatening of cultural identities: the masculine female. Oh yum!"--Kate Bornstein, author of "My Gender Workbook". 38 photos. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
