| Abstract |
"Trans Historical illuminates the plurality of trans and gendered experiences that flourished in medieval and early modern Greece, Turkey, Poland, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, North America, and England; expands our understanding of trans pasts; and documents lives that refused or exceeded categories such as "man" or "woman," before frameworks like "transgender," "binary," and "normal.""-- Provided by publisher. |
