Description

Step into the smoky underground of New York City with Ralph Werther's The Female-Impersonators, a riveting sequel to his acclaimed autobiography. Werther documents his six-year career as an instinctive female impersonator in the city's nightlife scene, weaving together his own experiences with the life stories of his transgender associates. The narrative captures the vibrancy of a bygone era while exploring themes of identity, performance, and the underground culture of mid-century New York.\n\nThis is more than a memoir; it's a cultural history told through personal experience. Werther's writing is both intimate and expansive, moving from his personal journey to the broader community of the gender-nonconforming underground. The book also includes an outline of his subsequent work, offering a comprehensive look at a life lived at the intersection of performance and identity.
