The gender of an impersonator is irrelevant. The goal is to either look like or sound like (or both) the person you are paying a tribute to. And, since I know you want to know, it's not illegal/wrong for a girl (or guy) to impersonate a man (or woman) as long as s/he isn't trying to convince someone s/he actually IS that person and not just pretending.
If you enter a contest for money and the rules state you must be a man to enter, you may be disqualified. But if I'm a member of the audience, I could care less who or what you are in real life. I just want to see a good show!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
