Spanning American transgender history from the mid-twentieth century to today, Susan Stryker takes us on a chronological journey through major movements, writings, and events in the brand new revised edition of Transgender History. With stories of the transsexual and transvestite communities in the years following World War II; trans radicalism and social change from 1966 through the early 1970s; the mid-'70s to 1990-the era of identity politics; and the gender issues witnessed through the '90s and '00s, this book is essential to understanding the past, present, and future of the struggle for trans liberation.
