Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of "fairyland" in Miami, Florida, during the early 20th century, exploring its association with leisure, recreation and queer possibilities. Topics include the role of elite women and men in shaping the fairyland image; the marketing strategy emphasizing tourism and pleasure; the glass closet where privileged queer individuals navigated societal norms; and the onset of the Great Depression in 1929.
