A History of Women in Men's Clothes: From Cross-Dressing to Empowerment by Norena Shopland

4.0

A great intro to this aspect of history from a very Western standpoint. If a person was new to this topic, A History of Women in Men's Clothes would be a fantastic introduction to the perceptions and dominant beliefs and motivations behind this element of feminist, lesbian and transgender history. However, I did think that this book lacked some academic vigour which is why it got a lower star rating. As an undergrad historian, I was slightly disappointed but overall very good if you're new to the topic or are into popular history as a genre.
