Law librarian explores history of laws regarding 'transvestites'
In a June 14, 2017, column in LEO Weekly, a Brandeis Law librarian outlines the history of Louisville's laws regarding so-called "transvestites."
Kurt Metzmeier, associate director of the Law Library, became intrigued in the history of the topic when he came across a 1971 newspaper article.
Metzmeier's most recent book is Writing the Legal Record: Law Reporters in Nineteenth-Century Kentucky (University Press of Kentucky, 2016).
