CAULDWELL, David O., ed.

NY: Sexology Corporation, 1964. Fifth printing. 128pp; b&w illus. Sewn in pictorial wraps. Dampstain to rear cover at spine; forward cocking to spine; about very good. Solid reading copy of this work in two parts exploring the nature of gender variance vis-a-vis male crossdressers. The first part with seven short chapters by various authors, including Harry Benjamin, on the "origin and nature of transvestism"; the second part with eleven anonymous autobiographic case histories. Editor David Oliver Cauldwell (1897-1959) was an American sexologist notable for being one of the first to take seriously what we now might call trans studies, and for having coined the term "transsexual."
