A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world. I read some of them, and I was inspired by some of them. I met some of the authors and heroines, some of them are my best friends, and I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing some of them. If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.
Original title: "Casa Susanna: L’histoire du premier réseau transgenre américain 1959-1968" (Casa Susanna: The Story of America's First Transgender Network 1959-1968) by Isabelle Bonnet, Sophie Hackett, and Susan Stryker.
"In 2004, 340 photographs, dating from the early 1960s, were found at the New York flea market. These amateur snapshots reveal a vast clandestine network of transvestites between the United States and Canada. They belonged to the famous Susanna, who regularly hosted transvestite friends at her property in Catskill (NY). Essential to their practice of transvestism, photography is preciously preserved by its followers as proof of their "inner daughter". These photographs testify today to the existence and aesthetics of a pioneering network in American transgender history."
