Krátky popis
Brings together a wealth of research and an expansive selection of
photographs to create an enduring account of America's first known
trans network, Casa Susanna.In the 1950s and 60s, an underground
network of transgender women and cross-dressing men found refuge at
a modest house in the Catskills region of New York. Known as Casa
Susanna, the house provided a safe place to express their true
selves and live for a few days as they had always dreamed - dressed
as and living as women without fear of being incarcerated or
institutionalized for their self-expression.This book opens up that
now-lost world. The photographs - mostly discovered by chance in a
New York flea market in 2004 - chronicle the experiences of men who
dressed as women, gender nonconforming people, and transwomen in
states of relaxation, experimentation, connection and joy. All of
this was made possible by Susanna Valenti who - on her own journey
toward womanhood - created Casa Susanna, a protected space where
others could crossdress and live freely as women. Supplementing the
images are excerpts from Transvestia, a magazine that allowed those
who had been cast out by a rigidly binary society to connect in a
different medium. The people who came to Casa Susanna found a spot
where they could explore and celebrate their own and each other’s
femininity, as they could not do elsewhere. Their creations are
also a reminder that there were, and still are, many ways to
explore the boundaries of gender.
