"The idea of an open and increasingly accepted LGBTQ+ community was inconceivable when Christine stood alone for what she believed in. She knew who she was deep down inside and never gave up in her quest for acceptance and to live in the way that made the most sense to her. On each page of this moving and thought-provoking transgender biography you’ll be introduced to a chapter of trans history that deserves to be retold."
The book covers the story of Christine Jorgensen (1926-1989), an American singer, actress, celebrity, and the most iconic figure of the transgender movement in the USA, if not in the whole world, famous for being the first world-famous person to have surgery sexual reassignment conducted in Denmark in the 1950s, inducted into Chicago's Legacy Walk celebrating LGBT history in 2012, honored in San Francisco's Rainbow Walk in 2014, and included in the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor at Stonewall National Monument in New York City in 2019.
