Chess argues that MTF crossdressing episodes are rich sources for socially-oriented readings of queer gender-that crossdressers' genders are constructed and represented \u003ci\u003ein relation\u003c\/i\u003e to romantic partners, communities, and broader social structures like marriage, economy, and sexuality. These relational representations show that the crossdresser often \u003ci\u003ebenefits \u003c\/i\u003efinancially, socially, and erotically from his\/her queer gender presentation. The book makes a larger space for queer, genderqueer, male-bodied, and queer-feminine representations in conversations about early modern gender and sexuality.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367210472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimone Chess is an Assistant Professor of English and an affiliate of the Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies Program at Wayne State University in Detroit.
