"The Female-Impersonators" by Ralph Werther is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a sequel to the author's previous autobiography, providing personal insights into his six-year career as a female impersonator in New York City’s underworld. It explores the lives of androgynes and delves into the psychology and societal perceptions surrounding gender identity. At the start of the book, the author establishes his humanitarian motives for writing, aiming to highlight the struggles of those who identify as androgynes and advocate for their rights. He reflects on the systemic issues that lead to violence and discrimination against these individuals, including historical prejudices and societal ignorance. The opening section also outlines Werther's personal journey and experiences, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the lives and stories of other androgynes, while advocating for greater understanding and compassion toward those who exist outside traditional gender norms.
