Conjoined twins in black and white

the lives of Millie-Christine McKoy and Daisy and Violet Hilton

by

"Provides contemporary readers with the twins' autobiographies, the first two "show histories" to be republished since their original appearance, a previously unpublished novella, and a 19th century medical examination, which attempts to define these women and reveals the issues of race, gender, and the body prompted by the twins themselves. The McKoys, born slaves, were kidnapped and taken to Britain, where they worked as entertainers until they were reunited with their mother in an emotional chance encounter. The Hiltons, cast away by their horrified mother at birth, worked the carnival circuit as vaudeville performers until World War II economy forced them to the burlesque stage"--Page 4 of cover.
