A fascinating biography of the highly-publicized male-to-female sex change recipient, Christine Jorgensen, and the impact she had on changing attitudes toward gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered persons.

Recenzje

"Becoming a Woman: A Biography of Christine Jorgensen offers a more studied examination of the state of transsexuality than most biographies offer....An excellent guide for college-level holdings specializing in alternative social issues." - Diane C. Donovan, The Midwest Book Review
