Introduction by Susan Stryker
This collection of amateur
photographs, found at a
New York flea market in 2004,
features men dressed as women.
The photos belonged to
a certain Susanna who,
between 1959 and 1968,
opened her door to all those who,
like her, secretly cross-dressed.
For a few days, they could
come and live freely as women
on her Catskill estate:
Casa Susanna.
