Charlotte Cushman broke barriers on and off stage.
During the mid-1800s, she was celebrated as the “greatest living actress.” Like many other female actresses, she performed both female and male roles. Female actresses playing male roles was popular with male theater-goers, as male costumes usually included tights that revealed the actress’ legs. However, Cushman’s male costumes were even less revealing than her female ones, as you can see in these costumes for Cardinal Wolsey (a male role) and Queen Katharine. Her popularity came from her performance, not her appearance.
Off stage, Cushman funded and lived in a community of what she and her friends called "jolly female bachelors" or "emancipated women" who were known for producing art, wearing men's clothing, and lobbying for working women. All of the romantic relationships documented in her personal papers were with women.
