Original title: "Je suis enfin une femme: Mon combat d'une vie" (I'm Finally A Woman: My Lifetime Struggle) by Natacha Jambon.
Born as a boy in a small village in Vaucluse, she grew up in a neighboring department. At four years old, she would turn out to be a disturbed child. A banal event would reveal her true nature: from the age of seven, she discovers her femininity.
She is going to dress as a girl for the first time and will enjoy it. Over the years, she advances in her pleasure of being “her”. Her parents do not take the matter seriously and even oppose her choice. When she comes of age, she swaps her male first name for that of Natacha.
It's not just a formality because she knows that the great fight of her life is about to begin: rejection by the family, failed marriage, mockery from her work colleagues, discrimination, and then dismissal. Natacha does not sink, clinging to her only reason for living: to begin the slow and difficult process of transition, she will go as far as the change of sex and her change of marital status which will finally lead her to become "a woman".
