Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects

Edited by David Evans Frantz, Christina Linden, and Chris E. Vargas

Surveying over four centuries, this volume brings together a wide-ranging selection of artworks and artifacts that highlight under-recognized histories of trans and gender-nonconforming communities. Through the contributions of artists, writers, poets, activists, and scholars, this title reflects on historical erasure to imagine trans futures.

An expansive array of artworks and artifacts chart not a patriarchal history but a gender-neutral, trans-centric "hirstory". The first publication of its kind, this expansive survey celebrates trans forebears, highlights struggles and triumphs, and reflects on the legacies of trans creative expression.
