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","brand":"Sydney University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47780946706583,"sku":"9781920898311","price":2279.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781920898311.webp?v=1778049430","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parting-with-my-sex-cross-dressing-inversion-and-sexuality-in-australian-cultural-life-9781920898311","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
