Awesome book!By FrancineThis is a great book. quite interesting and useful for all those who research or who just want to know more about crossdressing and transvestiting through the years.The book arrived in good conditions and very quickly. considering it was an international purchase. it took just a bit longer than a random national one! Just the paper cover involving the hard cover was a bit torn.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Profound Book and Easy to ReadBy Jeffrey DieterThis book is superb. Garber not only explores the subject of cross-dressing (which is absolutely fascinating) but also interrogates societal attitudes. challenges categories and categorization. and illustrates why the ubiquitous and often unchallenged binaries of straight/gay and woman/man need to be questioned. It is a book that unapologetically analyzes the notion of whether clothes do or do not make the (wo)man. The verdict? Read the book and fashion your own conclusions.12 of 15 people found the following review helpful. crossdressing acadamic insightBy A Customerfirst off. i cant say i would recommend this book to someone who doesnt have a more academic background. flitting as it does from foucault to freud back again. but i have to say that its critique thesis are well-reasoned. well-argued. definitely well-referenced! its like a cross dressing field guide in some ways... i found myself making up a list of movies/books to check out. even moreso. its a great book for anyone wanting to study gender construction in general... as it gets at that shadowy figure inbetween the genders. who belies/affirms all the constructs...thank you marjorie garber!
