About Drag King History
DragKingHistory.com showcases the extensive history of female-born performers who dress in men's attire for theatrical purposes from breeches roles to en travesti, variety to vaudeville, male impersonation to drag kings, and drag kings to the gender free. The website is a free resource library to preserve the drag king art form with the aim to educate and empower.
Drag King History represents an expansive group of courageous drag artists who provide visibility and inspiration for performers, researchers, historians, and drag enthusiasts worldwide.
