Drawing on primary fieldwork, 'Unzipping Gender' offers a cross-cultural study of transvestism through an examination of transvestites in Britain and India. It tackles the question of whether or not transvestism is motivated by sex or gender, and challenges the divide that dominates Western theories of gender.
