Review
""The Changing Room is the first major history of cross-dressing in theater. Award-winning theater historian and critic, Laurence Senelick, synthesizes a vast array of material from archival reserach and a lifetime of theater-going to provide a monumental record of cross-dressing on the stage. With 100 rare photographs, "The Changing Room offers a voyeuristic vision of a lifestyle watched by many, but lived by few, and a compulsively readable, authoritative account of the theater at its most sexual."
"Senelick...has written a work whose comprehensiveness, depth, and originality are only hinted at in the catchy title.."
-"Choice, April 2001
"Senelick's strong opinions, his focus on performace as fundamentally erotic, make the book absorbing and provocative.."
-"Choice, April 2001
..."every serious scholar will want this book and every library collection in the field must own it.."
-"Choice, April 2001
"Hard-bitten libertarians and libertines alike will delight in this encyclopedic work from respected scholar of all things stagy and gay, Laurence Senelick. This is a book that doesn't make a demand for tolerance, just common sense. His prose [is] always droll and incisive. [A] superb piece of research.."

First Sentence
For the poor boy who would become the punk-rock singer Wayne County and then the transsexual Jayne County, one way of challenging the Christian fundamentalism of the American South was by erecting altars of moss-covered stones to a pantheon of pre-Christian deities and burying beneath them tributes of mummified birds and beasts.
