The Queen of the Demi Monde: Gay Life in Chicago (1889) is a historical non-fiction book written by R. H. Andrews. The book explores the underground gay subculture in Chicago during the late 19th century, a time when homosexuality was considered a criminal offense. The author delves into the lives of queer individuals who lived in the shadows, including drag queens, transgender individuals, and male prostitutes. The book also sheds light on the social and political climate of the time, and how the law and society at large treated the LGBTQ+ community. Andrews' research is based on newspaper articles, court records, and personal accounts, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in LGBTQ+ history. The Queen of the Demi Monde is an insightful and thought-provoking read that provides a glimpse into a little-known aspect of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
