Here is the biography of Moniek, a transgender woman who made the transition from man to woman in the 70s in the Netherlands. It is the experience of someone who has to go through a difficult and emotional path to become a woman.
This remarkable book chronicles in a moving and sometimes disconcerting way the "transsexualization" of a man who has felt himself to be a woman all his life. He felt like a "stranger in his own body" and nothing could be firm conviction, namely, to have been born in a strange shell.
More than four years ago he began a difficult and painful journey that included exhaustive conversations with psychologists and hormonal treatments; a radical operation finally brought about the final transformation into a woman.
