Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940
George Chauncey
Explore the vibrant and cohesive gay world that existed in New York City in the early to mid-20th century with this award-winning history book.

Drawing on diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, this field-defining book provides an unassailable account of a community that was once self-hating, isolated, and invisible. Described as "brilliant" and "monumental," Gay New York is a first-rate book of history that forever changed the perception of LGBTQ+ New York City history.
