2 thoughts on “Drag queens, 1800s

  1. These two are the legendary Fanny and Stella. Their story was moving, inspiring, thrilling. Not to mention heroic. A biography – Fanny & Stella: the Young Men Who Shocked Victorian England, by Neil McKenna – was published a year or so ago and makes for terrific reading. And btw they were much, much more than the reductive term “drag queens”.
