Memoir of a transsexual who lives as a man, then in midlife transforms her body from male to female.
I recently read Self-made Man in which a woman passes as a man. Quite different, both shed light on the differences between the male and female experiences. I’ve always been glad I was born female, and these books confirmed my conviction.

Jennifer tells the story of how she transitioned from James Boylan to her true self and the effect that had on her family and friends. At times heartbreaking, always humorous and extremely well written, this book is essential for those interested in gender studies.
