Original title: "Endlich Frau!: Drei Transsexuelle auf ihrem Weg ins Glueck" (Finally a woman!: Three transsexuals on their way to happiness).
'In 1982, in a northern German city, Hans Georg van Herste had to witness how a transsexual woman was being pursued and beaten by several young men. A police officer not only did not intervene but encouraged the men to keep going. This experience did not leave van Herste cold.
Since then he has been supporting transsexuals on their way into real life. Although many people, especially religiously colored and so-called experts, repeatedly put obstacles in his way, he did not allow himself to be discouraged and made a significant contribution to improving the lives of transsexuals.
In this book he lets the male-to-female transsexuals Maria, Johanna and Elke tell their hair-raising life stories, which, thanks to his help, all end with a happy ending. On top of that, he gives tips and suggestions that, based on his extensive wealth of experience, can really make a difference. This book was awarded a prize in its original form under the title "The True Dream of Freedom" at the Leipzig Book Fair.'
