The book is a unique biography of Lohana Berkins, a transgender activist and advocate of the rights of the LGBT community in Argentina and Latin America. She died on 5 February 2016, so she was not able to see her biography published.
Born in a small town in Salta, Lohana was expelled from the family home when she was very young and forced to practice prostitution to survive. She learned to walk on the border. At the end of the 80s, she settled in Buenos Aires and had to deal with ruffians, petty offenders, and the police. She fell in love and, fighting for the repeal of police edicts, became a unique leader whose main battle was the right to her own identity. She embraced feminism and was the first transgender woman in Argentina to get a job in accordance with the Labour code.
