{"product_id":"parting-with-my-sex-lucy-chesser-9781920898311","title":"Parting with my Sex: Cross-Dressing, Inversion and Sexuality in Australian Cultural Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this original and unusual work, Lucy Chesser explores the persistent recurrence of cross-dressing and gender inversion within Australian cultural life. Examples of cross-dressing are to be found in almost every area of Australian historical enquiry, including Aboriginal-European relations and conflict, convict societies, the goldrushes, bushranging, the 1890s and its nationalist fiction, and World War One. The book compares and contrasts sustained life-long impersonations whereby women lived, worked and sometimes married as men, with other forms of cross-dressing such as public masquerades, cross-dressing on the stage, and the prosecution of men who sought sexual encounters while disguised as women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Chesser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192089831X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781920898311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.78d","brand":"Lucy Chesser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637313159423,"sku":"9781920898311","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28db050a-88ca-42eb-a0f2-4e50e608a0c8.jpg?v=1765115370","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parting-with-my-sex-lucy-chesser-9781920898311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
