Reflection: I think the book entitled Drag Queens at the Cabaret, would be useful for my research topic which happens to be Drag Queens. This book discusses the lifestyle and way of life of female impersonators. It also informs the readers about the lives of transvestites also. Most drag queens are or will become transvestites. It tells of the struggles they have to face in everyday life by society and how they choose to live happily as they are and to not let people bring them down. It tells also of the various performances they do at night clubs and the processes they go through nightly to get ready for their big shows.
